Phlegm often accompanies colds and other upper respiratory infections. While not a serious health
problem, if phlegm is not treated timely, it can clog and irritate the bronchial tubes and in turn
cause a secondary upper respiratory infection.
The presence of phlegm is usually indicated by a constant need for throat clearing, constant
cough, runny nose, difficulty breathing, feeling weak and, in some cases, fever. Phlegm tends to
collect and congest in the chest and throat and is usually expelled through coughing.
Phlegm contains the bacteria, virus or inflammatory cells produced in response to an infection. In
addition to infections such as the common cold, flu and bronchitis, phlegm can be caused by an
allergic reaction to irritants such as in asthma and hay fever, damaged vocal cords, and excessive
smoking.

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.
(http://www.top10homeremedies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/phlegm-home-remedies.jpg)
Here are the top 10 home remedies for phlegm.
1. Steam
Steam inhalation is the best and the simplest way to get rid of phlegm. Inhaling steam into the
nasal passages helps keep phlegm in liquid form so it is easier to eliminate from your system.
Take a steam shower twice daily. Turn your shower to full heat and stay in the closed
bathroom for 10 minutes to help break up the mucus. Be sure to moisturize your body after,
as warm water robs your skin of essential oils and moisture.
Alternatively, pour hot boiling water in a large bowl. Hold a towel over your head and inhale
the steam for five to 10 minutes. This will help loosen the secretions in your lungs. You can
use this simple remedy several times a day.
2. Salt Water
Gargling with warm salt water is another easy way to treat phlegm. While warm water is soothing
for an irritated throat (http://www.top10homeremedies.com/home-remedies/home-remediesfor-sore-throat.html), salt helps destroy bacteria that may be causing your infection and therefore

reduces production of phlegm.

1. Mix one-fourth teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water.
2. Gargle with the solution.
3. Repeat this remedy several times a day.
3. Lemon Juice
Lemon is a great ingredient for loosening mucus and phlegm. Plus, lemons antibacterial property
and high vitamin C content improves the bodys resistance to infections.
(http://www.top10homeremedies.com/wp-content/uploads
/2014/01/phlegm-home-remedy-final-2.jpg)
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.
4. Ginger
Ginger is a natural decongestant and has been used to fight off throat and respiratory tract
infections (http://www.top10homeremedies.com/kitchen-ingredients/10-health-benefitsof-ginger.html) for ages.

Also, the antiviral, antibacterial and expectorant properties present in ginger ease congestion in the
throat and chest to help you breathe easier.
Add one tablespoon of fresh ginger slices to one cup of boiled water. Steep for a few minutes
and then add two teaspoons of honey. Drink this soothing ginger tea several times
throughout the day.
Alternatively, chew raw ginger slices several times a day and add ginger to your dishes.
5. Turmeric
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.
6. Chicken Soup
Warm chicken soup can also help treat phlegm. Hot chicken soup will help moisturize the airways
and thin the consistency of the phlegm. It will also soothe an irritated throat and induce relaxation.
Have some chicken soup at least two or three times a day to clear phlegm from your throat. For
increased benefits, add ginger and garlic to the soup. Homemade soup is often more effective than
canned soup, which has preservatives.

Instead of lemon juice can we jus take out the juice from the
lemon or does it have to be lemon juice from a store.

How can one encourage a grown man to stop spitting almost all of the
time ? He claims that it is an athletic habit from playing professional
(United States), football.
He also passes gas very loudly for the same reasoning. Otherwise he is
impeccably groomed, very well dressed, brushes his teeth and flosses
about 5 or 6 times each day, and showers 3 to 4 times a day. He is always
fresh and manicured and pedicured. He is very attractive as a perfect
specimen of physical fitness. he also models and acts when not working
out for the games. What can I do ? I love him very much. But he just does
not understand why the general public finds these things rude and
unsanitary. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Candice January 25, 2015 at 2:20 pm

Sorry but if he does what you say, he may need to shower 3-4 times
a day. Ask him how he would feel if you did that, especially around
his friends. Im sure he would think it disgusting. Tell him thats how
you feel.

There is something wrong with him. People dont need to take 3-4
showers a day & do all the other obsessive things he does to be
perfectly groomed etc. The spitting is just another clue as to this
guys compulsions. These behaviors are just a clue to underlying
problems, they are not really problems themselves.
jesus July 21, 2015 at 3:22 am

or you could just be happy that you found someone that sounds
pretty amazing and youre nitpicking the shit out of some minute
details.
Im sure there is an item or two on your hang list hed like to amend.
like for instance, the way you always want to pick apart everything
he does?
you found a model. and youre on this website botching about it.
Ne car October 15, 2015 at 6:52 am

Start spitting also in his company, or do something that will irk him.

bad manners and his mama should have taught him to behave
better in public.
carol hairston February 7, 2016 at 9:22 am

If hes playing pro football earning all that cash and hes truly my
man , spitting and farting is the least of your problems , my advice to
you would be to stop complaining , just love your man! And just
hope that you are the only one that hes loving, hope I was helpful!
lisa March 8, 2016 at 11:54 am

Start spitting like he does in public he should get the picture. Good

I have a blocked nose only when I am asleep. The main problem is that
my throat, chest and inner nose seem to have mucus which I cough it to
clear. At times it is thick at times loose. It appears as if I am allergic to
something I dont know. I am taking the Ridaq 25mg Tablets daily for Bp.
At times it appeared that I had a problem with Coke acidic loose juice
forming in my chest, throat and nose.

It says to go to your doctor if your mucus is green, but this advice isnt
entirely accurate. When you have a Cold or Flu, your mucus can change
colour from white/clear to green, and when it does turn green, it is a sign
that your body is fighting the infection, so its a good thing, and no reason
to see a doctor.
Khizar June 21, 2015 at 5:11 pm

I learned that you shouldnt use hot water with lemon or kalamansi.instead
room temperature only or maybe a little warm.the vitamin C content in the
lemon is destroyed in hot or boiling water.

dont just gargle the salt, go ahead and consume some and especially
with nutrient rich meals.Iodized salt is stomach acid plus antacid plus a
trace of iodine hopefullyIf your pancreas is weak the formula will be
offtoo much salt leads to excess sodium for the body to expel1 course
of antibiotics with a commitment to salt turned my chronic phlegm
situation aroundI was salt avoidant for years, I smoke.Low salt will
eventually lead to a chlorine shortage and low stomach acid which can
cause GERD, leaky gut syndrome, reduced digestion of food, eventually
slow metabolism and nutrient absorptionif your body is damaged or you
have insufficient nutrition salt might be a problem and you would have to
seek a compromise but for me salt was the cure! The first impact was
better sleep breathing. salty broccoli is a good choice with a wide variety
of good nutrients

Just because someone is a model that makes them a god?
You should put up with spitting and farting and forced rude
behavior because your guy has no respect? What happens
when he can no longer model What you do for a living is not
who you are.
