12 ways to clear mucus to reduce congestion using nutrition.
Mucus is a slippery fluid that lubricates inner skin in respiratory passageways, such as those found in the nose, sinuses, throat and lungs. This substance protects the delicate inner tissue from irritants.
Sometimes however, when people are exposed to dust, dry air or certain foods, the mucous membranes can make a little too much mucus, which gets trapped/stuck to the inner lining, in the form of phlegm or nasal congestion.
In this video, we look at why mucus builds up, 12 natural ways to help clear mucus using foods like cruciferous vegetables, onions, thyme, and sulfur; along with lesser known-approaches such as sunlight exposure, Vitamin A rich foods, and the use of sea salt.
