Excess mucus and phlegm can make breathing difficult, trigger persistent coughing, and leave you feeling congested. Instead of relying on over-the-counter medications, why not try a natural, home-based remedy to clear your airways?
This powerful phlegm-fighting drink combines ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and expectorant properties—helping you break down mucus, soothe irritation, and breathe easier.
Why Does Mucus Build Up?
Mucus protects your respiratory system by trapping irritants, but allergies, colds, infections, or smoking can cause overproduction. When mucus thickens and lingers, it leads to:
✔ Chest congestion
✔ Persistent cough
✔ Sore throat
✔ Difficulty breathing
The good news? Nature provides powerful solutions!
