Phlegm often accompanies colds and other upper respiratory infections. Dealing with phlegm can be incredibly frustrating and seemingly never ending. But there are effective, natural home remedies that work quickly and without causing side effects.
Turmeric has strong antiseptic properties that help reduce phlegm by killing the bacteria that cause excessive mucus production. Also, turmeric helps strengthen the immune system.
- Add one teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of hot milk.
- Drink it once in the morning and again before going to bed.
- Swallow one-half teaspoon of turmeric with a glass of water two or three times a day.
- Add one tablespoon of turmeric and a pinch of salt to a glass of hot water. Use it to gargle several times a day.
Lemon Juice
Lemon is a great ingredient for loosening mucus and phlegm. Plus, lemon’s antibacterial property and high vitamin C content improves the body’s resistance to infections.
- Add two teaspoons of lemon juice and one tablespoon of honey to a glass of hot water. Drink this at least three times a day to soothe your throat and reduce phlegm production.
- Another simple option is to cut a slice of lemon, sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper on it and then suck on the lemon slice. It will help force the phlegm out of your throat. Do this two or three times a day.
