I have had excessive mucus and post nasal drip for for 25 years. I would wake up every morning and spend 3 to 4 minutes gargling to clear in out. Since I have eliminated all sugar,including carbs, and wheat from my diet I no longer have have this problem. I also have fresh breath all the time now,even after waking up after a nights sleep.
Moki ... I have wondering if there is a connection with sugar and bread, although I don't eat a lot of bread. I am interested seeing your comment. I think you are definitely onto something. I have been noticing increased mucus and since being sick a month ago I am coughing all the time and trying to bring up mucus. It's driving me nutty. I'm definitely going to try and give up all carbs and reduce the bread even more and see how I go. Thanks for the comment.
When falling asleep, try to sleep with your mouth closed. At first you can't breathe but as you gently encourage yourself to close your mouth, you find that your nose clears more and more. Gradually sleeping with your mouth closed becomes a habit and that helps.
I do mouth taping at night,.......I know,it’s sounds weird,but have done it after having dry eye syndrome,& post nasal drip,change my whole world in sleeeping sooo much better!
@@jackiemcnairn3594 I have taped my mouth and it's recommended by doctors including dentists because sleeping with your mouth open can dry your mouth and increasing the chance of having dental problems. For tape I didn't buy the ones advertised because it can be expensive so I used medical tape which is used to close up wounds and it works very well because it comes on a roll and you can cut it to size but the only problem is removing the tape the next day as it can take a couple of minutes to remove the adhesive from the mouth but otherwise it was well worth it.
I get the sunlight and coconut water to solve the problem. Those worked very well for me. Doctors say, the infra red from the sun can treat mucus, and magnesium from coconut water and vitamin D from the sun can boost your immune system.
Warm water, apple cider vinegar, honey and lemon, just sip little bits over time, clears everything up pretty quick, stops the constant clearing of the throat
A lifelong sufferer of Asthma, I went Vegan and virtually eliminated its symptons including being clogged with mucus with health threatening regularity, Almost daily in fact...My general health and appearance (hair skin eyes) has been fantastic as well.
@@alinapopet9290 the only difficult part of making the transition is food preparation. It was the most challenging for me due to my wife and children not having the same diet as me (plant based). They wouldn't even consider giving up beef and cheese lol. But, it really is easy. Just need to be prepared.
Hey Moki thanks a lot for the info! Did you also have clicking inside your ears? I’ve had it for two years alongside the phlegm, I think they go hand in hand. The clicking in my ear is very distracting and annoying
@@peggysueway3889I think any diet change that includes healthier foods (less processed foods and more fresh fruit and vegetables) is going to make a difference. If the first person cut out processed carbs and sugars like cakes, cookies, white breads, crackers, etc and instead they’re eating more whole food based meals like a low carb grain with vegetables and protein, and maybe some fruit afterwards, that’s pretty similar to a whole food vegan diet, a vegan diet just uses plant protein instead of animals for protein. You can actually have a low carb diet as a vegan too.
@@ran160 we get that. He means in terms of actually proving health services other than offering big pharma concoctions. In other words, actually caring about their patients.
Oil of oregano really helps to rid the throat of phlegm . Use as the bottle says. Also, I've used it in my nostrils but put only one drop in each nostril WITH one drop of olive oil to dilute the oil of oregano is it tends to be "hot"...it does hurt a bit putting it in the nose but its not harmful...just hot ! It absolutely clears out not only your throat but your ears and nose as well !
Covid left me with respiratory issues and affected the ability to sing (I am not professional but participate in music retreats). I am so tired of this constant mucus and pleghm 😢
I've been having a mucus issue for over a year now but its like stuck in my head. Tried mucinex, nasal sprays, hot showers to no avail. Its really annoying.
There is an Indian herb called Ajwain or Carrom seeds...boil them in water and take steam of it standing near the stove as the aroma spreads in the room quick..drink that hot water as tea 3 times a day...thank me later!
I get histamine reactions to many foods, the biggest culprit being citrus fruits, avocado, strawberries, tomatoes, dairy, chocolate, wine and many more!

Sounds similar to what I get. Usually when the seasons change like right now in the fall and spring. I usually get awful flu symptoms and it turns into total lung and chest congestion which takes weeks to cough up and drain out. I'm so sick of it every 6 months. What helps you the best? Prevention would be the ticket.
I've had this problem for years, and when I can afford chiropractor treatments, the neck adjustments completely stop the mucus after 2 or 3 treatments. When I run out of money, the mucus comes back after a few weeks off treatment.
Hmm my necks basically a wreck I have 3 collapsed disks and all kinds of arthritis. No Chiropractor will dare touch me because of slight spinal cord impingement. I've already broken my back once a stress fracture. So maybe I will just have to learn to live with it.
That's interesting! I recently read where gently squeezing the back of your neck can alleviate a sore throat. I was so skeptical but it did help although temporarily. I wonder if it's the same things at work.
So glad this wasn’t another video about cutting everything out of your diet that tastes good. I think I’d rather live with mucus than live without wheat and sugar
I like the way you time-line marked the questions in your video--that's helpful. A specialit also advised raising the head of the bed 4 to 6 " to elevate you and prevent/reduce acid reflux. I don't have heartburn but many people do--I'm still searching for a cause of excess mucus/throat clearing but watching videos and reading about symptoms is helpful to rule out possible causes.

@@tahirahmed33 Mostly yes, for me. When I have returned to wheat (bread, pasta) a runny nose and nasal throat congestion returns with a vengeance! I can somewhat cope with sourdough bread, but, even then the mucus can slowly return.

How do I heal my post nasal drip and clear my head and sinus mucus? I have nasal dripping which is annoying and embarrassing because of clearing my throat all the time and head in a fog.

I feel like my nose is less runny and more dry, often. Like there is mucus but it's thick and sometimes painfully dry. Sometimes it's a little bloody. And it is often annoying my throat, and I constantly feel like I have to cough to clear it. I also can't sing the way I used to because the mucus will make me cough. I do sometimes get minor sinus pains. Could this be the same thing you're describing even though it's not usually runny?
That's actually the video I always wanted I have been suffering from phlegm for three years and actually it's impossible To get rid of Bec this is genetic and my whole family is suffering from the same problem But I use a nasal spray to make it Less Thick and handle it more easier + I don't have to gargle with salt water Since I have the nasal spray Bec it is made of salty sea water.
I need this so bad 😭😔😐❤️. I wake up with a mouthful of mucus and in my nose and throat I cough and blow my nose daily my sister tried telling me to stop sleeping with my window open and stop smoking I haven't smoked for 24 years. Why do I have this issue? It really started about 5 years ago when I moved into her house and stopped my daily and weekly detox as she doesn't have a bath tubs just showers. And why after eating do I cough or get a running nose?
What about bronchitis? I have had it for 6 weeks, been on 2 different meds, still not cleared up. Lots of snap, crackle & pop rice crispies. Can't get it to release & come up.
I have been diagnosed with post nasal drip for about 2 years. As soon as I sit up in bed and move around the mucus immediately starts producing and for about 2 hours I cough and clear my

I have learned that by reading out loud early in the day seems to jar loose a clump of mucus from my larnyx, which I spit out. If I don't, it'll get stuck in the larnyx again! Anyways, after this is done, I can speak without constantly clearing my throat, or coughing. The key is to use your voice out loud as soon as possible in the day.

I have allergies but I took the allergy immunotherapy shots for the straight 5yrs ( the due date finished ). I suffer from gerd and during the time I've been eating pizza with braces. I was dehydrated but I've been having water a lot due to work and just eating anything water based. My phlem problem happened right after taken off my braces of 18 and had retainers... The first day with retainers I built up lots and lots of phlegms I was very upset and sad that this happened to me but not my sister. I was upset at my oral dentist.. but realizing that they can't help. I find it so weird how I randomly got phlegms... They told me a keto diet for a good 3yrs... I am now 21 and I've been in the keto diet for almost going into a yr. It's been 3yrs since I have phlegm. And I just want it over with. I just sick and tired of waking up with a build up. And the doctors think I just sound crazy but I as it's usually when I wake up and after eating big meals. Please help! 😭 I've been staying hydrated, trying to fix how I sleep, been trying to not eat at night, been trying to eat small, been changing even my diet, and it seems like nothing works at all. And I've been at this for at least almost a year!
Heat 3 table spoons of coconut oil and remove it from the stove or heater otherwise the oil will catch fire..Drop some camphor into the warm oil and store in a bottle.. Rub the oil on chest , back and neck before bed.. You will see relief in a week..
Yes.. It works very well.. You can rub it on the neck , even inside nostrils as it will not burn at all.. You should rub it on your back also..What it does is it warms the body to loosen the phlegm inside the lungs.. Smell & Inhale so the camphorated air reaches the lungs.. Avoid oily foods and reduce acidity in the stomach.. It helps..
Lemon Honey Olive oil Cinnamon You need the oil to hold the cinnamon otherwise it floats, now microwave for 10 seconds and drink it, works for me, as it alleviates the unproductive cough and starts the phlegm moving.
The sinusitis I have this damn mucus won’t leave me alone and I hate it. I have to keep brushing my teeth because I’m scared I’ll have bad breath. I need to know how to stop it and what to eat etc.

I am lactose intolerant and i have had a few chocolate bars this week but it usually never affects me. But I think it might be time to stop consuming dairy and sugar for good. I hope it helps
? So can mucus phlegm collect in the heart? I was told had water in heart it's to big. I had a cold last 2-3wks. Shipped to emergency breathing was difficult. ? Was prescribed furosemide to drain? Water. And restrict intake. If water is removed mucus the thick leftovers would be very hard to oust yes.

im only 15 and have this problem and i keep swallowing aswell. It has been like 3 months already and i still havent seeked any medical attention which i probably should
My ginger tea remedy One lemon Fresh tiny chopped Ginger not minced or pre minced it has to be fresh cut ginger swallow sized pieces Ginger lemon tea bag The first thing you do is eat the lemon without the peel it will clear the first layer of mucus to make an opening After the tea is done you need to swallow the ginger bits tht were cooked in the tea The only precaution is 5-10 minutes of sweating hiccuping and just feeling drained but the ginger fights bacteria so thts why u feel tht way but the night of or the next day youll feel sooooo much better
I have mucus and the way I slow it down is when i feel bad with this i go and dig up so ginger cut a pice about 20cent coin peel it and chew it and get it down your throat do this much as you need the follow up with something sweet i take 3 dates then you feel like a new new person and can Breath again.
I have phlegm problem for a few years especially at night when I start sleeping it's take a few hours to sleep sometime 9 : 00 PM to 1 - 2 AM And I always wake up before 6 :00 AM and can't sleep anymore
I gave up dairy and sugar and it really helped my symptoms. You may also be sensitive to grains and or gluten. There is extensive research supporting this.
definitely hot spicy food triggers mucus. I love it but sometimes I just avoid spicy food for the sake of not dealing with a lot of phlegm. Sometimes I just deal with it though LOL!
I get frequent sinus infections. My ENT doctor recommended an endoscopic sinus surgery to reduce my turbinates but I’m afraid that’s not going to get ride of the mucous buildup that has already hardened over the years. Would these tips help get ride of that hardened mucous in my sinuses? (He was able to see the buildup with an X-ray of my sinuses)
The question might be why a person has excess phlegm and mucus before we get rid of it. If it's there to try and protect something and you get rid of it...
why is my saliva forming like thick gel.. especially in the morning... I feel like choking... my teeth is covered with a sticky substance.. pls advise.. am sooo miserable

And then you can have chronic sinuitis...dec 2018 I contracted TWAR (Chlamydia pneumoniae) AND Mycoplasma, two gram negative bacterias that are coated with a protective shell that makes them difficult to penetrate with antibiotics. Long story short..after 3 years with constant coughing and a FESS operation with removal of 1/2 dl of infectious mass I am able to breath through my nose but the lining of my throat and nostrils are forever weakened and secretion of mucus is a 24/7 battle.
Thank you! I'm going to give these a try. For steam, I did purchase an inexpensive nebulizer. But I'm definitely going to try the homemade saline solution as well.
I have narrow nostrils which means that at the slightest runny nose I easily get stuffy and then start snoring with my mouth open. I have tried nasal spray and it helps initially, I usually take the one that contains cortisone but am worried about side effects with long-term use. I wonder if I need to contact my doctor for a nose job to get rid of the problems permanently.
I just had sinus and nasal surgery for this problem. My daughter had it, too. It runs in my family. My mother and son need the surgery, as well. I’m only 2 weeks out from surgery but my nose already feels like more air is coming through it.
@@snowwhite7341 how did you manage to get the surgery? I've been trying for over a decade. My nose is always closed up it affects so many aspects of life. My sleep is terrible.
@@ben_dixon I needed sinus surgery and the doc said that since I was going to be knocked out and opened up I should have my deviated septum, bone spurs and collapsed nostrils fixed.
Anyone wanting to get rid of excess phlegm and mucus should first and foremost eliminate phlegm and mucus producing foods from the diet. Foods such as processed foods, sugar, white bread, pasta, cheese, diary, etc. and instead a diet rich in lemons, lime, green leafy veggies, legumes, cruciferous veggies, etc. Oil pulling each morning followed by a liter of hot lemon or lime water will go a long way to eliminate excess phlegm and mucus.
Iam stuffing with a cold at the moment I have not slept for 2days with mucus on my chest and my nasal passage . I don't lie down flat I have quite a few pillars propped up but that does not make any difference really .
I'm not sick but I keep accumulating green phlegm the past couple months and having to forcibly cough it out. Doctors couldn't even figure it out, they thought it was allergies which I never had in my almost 30 years and the medications they gave didn't even help. Idk man smh it's not the worst feeling in the world but it's annoying.
Same symptoms here! An ENT diagnosed it as esophageal irritation from stomach acid reflux. He prescribed Pantoprazole, it's a antacid. One pill one hour before dinner. Also said to avoid coffee, chocolate, alcohol, tomato products and spicey food. It's helping!

Warm must humidifier next to the head by bed @ nights is better than the hot steam & towel, the hot steam can cause sinus headache afterwards

Spicy foods always make my lungs feel clearer.
Is it dangerous if mucus or phlegm come into lungs? Bc I feel like mucus is in my lungs
me too .. I can’t breathe 😢
Your not supposed to use normal salt as a nasal rinse it can damage the nose. You can buy the salts in the chemist their very cheap.
That's actually the video I always wanted I have been suffering from phlegm for three years and actually it's impossible To get rid of Bec this is genetic and my whole family is suffering from the same problem But I use a nasal spray to make it Less Thick and handle it more easier
+ I don't have to gargle with salt water Since I have the nasal spray Bec it is made of salty sea water.
depending on your tolerance for medications, there are some that literally takes the mucus out of your nasal passages.
I need this so bad 😭😔😐❤️. I wake up with a mouthful of mucus and in my nose and throat I cough and blow my nose daily my sister tried telling me to stop sleeping with my window open and stop smoking I haven't smoked for 24 years. Why do I have this issue? It really started about 5 years ago when I moved into her house and stopped my daily and weekly detox as she doesn't have a bath tubs just showers. And why after eating do I cough or get a running nose?
What about bronchitis? I have had it for 6 weeks, been on 2 different meds, still not cleared up. Lots of snap, crackle & pop rice crispies. Can't get it to release & come up.
Can a NAC supplement help with this problem?
I have been diagnosed with post nasal drip for about 2 years. As soon as I sit up in bed and move around the mucus immediately starts producing and for about 2 hours I cough and clear my

I hear ya, I've been struggling with allergies for years, if I eat dairy it's the worse just awful constant phlegm.
All great advice. I use all of them but still suffer. Have a cat allergy for one, but am a cat lover with 4 of them. Oh well, suffer i must. Steam and nasal flushes are the absolute winners for me to stop the congestion headaches.
Thanks for sharing
I use a low speed vibrator with my hand as padding and place it over the various sinus areas. It seems to get things moving and my headache goes away.
I’m allergic to cats as well.
I hope you get better.
I have learned that by reading out loud early in the day seems to jar loose a clump of mucus from my larnyx, which I spit out. If I don't, it'll get stuck in the larnyx again! Anyways, after this is done, I can speak without constantly clearing my throat, or coughing. The key is to use your voice out loud as soon as possible in the day.
Thanks for sharing Peter
great video! Thank you. Is drinking cold water or warm water better?
A salty beach ⛱ definitely does wonders, clean my whole head out! Folly Beach ⛱ salty water. Excellent
I am I’ll and disabled for years but never suffered so much before with great throat weakness trying to cough up phlegm and swallowing difficulties. Have tried so many different things but nothing much helps. Even worse at night with raised head. Please can you help?
Thank you for the great info. I'm seasick with the zoom out / zoom in effect
Glad it was helpful!
4:00 You said cold water... doesn't it make cold worse. Atleast that's what I've been told. Thank you for your help 😀
I have allergies but I took the allergy immunotherapy shots for the straight 5yrs ( the due date finished ).
I suffer from gerd and during the time I've been eating pizza with braces.
I was dehydrated but I've been having water a lot due to work and just eating anything water based.
My phlem problem happened right after taken off my braces of 18 and had retainers... The first day with retainers I built up lots and lots of phlegms I was very upset and sad that this happened to me but not my sister.
I was upset at my oral dentist.. but realizing that they can't help.
I find it so weird how I randomly got phlegms... They told me a keto diet for a good 3yrs... I am now 21 and I've been in the keto diet for almost going into a yr.
It's been 3yrs since I have phlegm.
And I just want it over with. I just sick and tired of waking up with a build up. And the doctors think I just sound crazy but I as it's usually when I wake up and after eating big meals.
Please help! 😭
I've been staying hydrated, trying to fix how I sleep, been trying to not eat at night, been trying to eat small, been changing even my diet, and it seems like nothing works at all. And I've been at this for at least almost a year!
Heat 3 table spoons of coconut oil and remove it from the stove or heater otherwise the oil will catch fire..Drop some camphor into the warm oil and store in a bottle.. Rub the oil on chest , back and neck before bed.. You will see relief in a week..
@@rajir4831 for phlegms?
@@rajir4831 cause that's only for dandruff I just looked it up
Yes.. It works very well.. You can rub it on the neck , even inside nostrils as it will not burn at all.. You should rub it on your back also..What it does is it warms the body to loosen the phlegm inside the lungs.. Smell & Inhale so the camphorated air reaches the lungs.. Avoid oily foods and reduce acidity in the stomach.. It helps..
Try a nasal rinse (neti pot, make sure the water and instruments are fully sterilized)
Lemon
Honey
Olive oil
Cinnamon
You need the oil to hold the cinnamon otherwise it floats, now microwave for 10 seconds and drink it, works for me, as it alleviates the unproductive cough and starts the phlegm moving.
What if it’s bloody
What can we do about mucus that drips in the back of the throat, and causes choking when drinking and eating.
When l was younger my mum added a little bit of vicks to the water for steaming over a bowl, l found it helped and still do that as l have hayfever.
Thanks for sharing
@@AbrahamThePharmacist You are welcome.
Any opinion of lemon water for the reduction of mucus in the throat? Thank you for this information! ❤️🌹
lemon juice works , also can use apple cider vinegar with raw honey and Lugol iodine
Lemon water really bad for teeth, the acid eats away the enamel and u get cavities along gum, my dental hygienist told me
Plain warm water also helps because it loosens the mucus 😊
Such an excellent informative video - thanks for sharing your experience ❤
You are so welcome!
Salt room work the best for clearing mucus. Dry salt inhalation.
The sinusitis I have this damn mucus won’t leave me alone and I hate it. I have to keep brushing my teeth because I’m scared I’ll have bad breath. I need to know how to stop it and what to eat etc.
you are just too good!!! i can advice this without being a doctor ... glad you cou;d validate!
I appreciate that! Sending awesome vibes Doreen
I'm really curious. Do you think sputum that accumulates in the larynx can cause asphyxiation?
Yeas it can, it is called a mucous plug and is potentially fatal, unfortunately few medicos have experience with it.
Do you havet to boil the water for nasal drops can you use bottled
Ive had this virus every 7 weeks this year that starts with mucus and phlegm and it really upsets my daily life.
I am lactose intolerant and i have had a few chocolate bars this week but it usually never affects me.
But I think it might be time to stop consuming dairy and sugar for good.
I hope it helps
@Kelliecans Can You're getting rid of all* kinds of sugar? Or just the bad types?
Getting rid of dairy was a plus for me.
Sugar and dairy ...also eggs gives to much mucus..to some persons.
? So can mucus phlegm collect in the heart? I was told had water in heart it's to big. I had a cold last 2-3wks. Shipped to emergency breathing was difficult. ? Was prescribed furosemide to drain? Water. And restrict intake. If water is removed mucus the thick leftovers would be very hard to oust yes.

My ginger tea remedy
One lemon
Fresh tiny chopped Ginger not minced or pre minced it has to be fresh cut ginger swallow sized pieces
Ginger lemon tea bag
The first thing you do is eat the lemon without the peel it will clear the first layer of mucus to make an opening
After the tea is done you need to swallow the ginger bits tht were cooked in the tea
The only precaution is 5-10 minutes of sweating hiccuping and just feeling drained but the ginger fights bacteria so thts why u feel tht way but the night of or the next day youll feel sooooo much better
Is the tea made of just boiled ginger & lemon or just ginger??
@@emelinesemo lemon ginger tea bag with fresh lemon and ginger .. I boil the ginger too but when u eat them without boiling i think its more better
I have mucus and the way I slow it down is when i feel bad with this i go and dig up so ginger cut a pice about 20cent coin peel it and chew it and get it down your throat do this much as you need the follow up with something sweet i take 3 dates then you feel like a new new person and can Breath again.
Wonderful advice. Thanks for the tips. Good health to you 😊

I have phlegm problem for a few years especially at night when I start sleeping it's take a few hours to sleep sometime 9 : 00 PM to 1 - 2 AM And I always wake up before 6 :00 AM and can't sleep anymore
When I try to sing my voice cracks up.what should do?
I find the netti pot can be helpful sometimes. It would be interesting to know if certain foods could also trigger the production of mucus etc.
I gave up dairy and sugar and it really helped my symptoms. You may also be sensitive to grains and or gluten. There is extensive research supporting this.
Milk and cheese
@@sunnyme2212 Excellent suggestions--they are the same things that I have noticed that cause mucus.
definitely hot spicy food triggers mucus. I love it but sometimes I just avoid spicy food for the sake of not dealing with a lot of phlegm. Sometimes I just deal with it though LOL!
I was also told to give up dairy products but that would be like somebody else giving up cigarettes. It's never going to happen!
I get frequent sinus infections. My ENT doctor recommended an endoscopic sinus surgery to reduce my turbinates but I’m afraid that’s not going to get ride of the mucous buildup that has already hardened over the years. Would these tips help get ride of that hardened mucous in my sinuses? (He was able to see the buildup with an X-ray of my sinuses)
Musenex has served me well. Although I am open to other protocols since mine may not work in all cases.
The question might be why a person has excess phlegm and mucus before we get rid of it. If it's there to try and protect something and you get rid of it...
Hey well i tried the salt thing and got rid of some and now i can‘t really breath well ich can only take little short breathes
Sunflower oil makes mucus in the body???????????????I use sunflower oil ona regular basis
Some of us are allergic to sunflower products.
why is my saliva forming like thick gel.. especially in the morning... I feel like choking... my teeth is covered with a sticky substance.. pls advise.. am sooo miserable
I can’t get rid of phlegm after getting COVID it’s been about 5 months after n they still here

Great video as always I have Bronchiectasis and take Carbocisteine to help with the thick phlegm
Thanks for sharing and tuning in :)
Does the medication help you with the Bronchiectasis and is it accompanied by a prolong coughing
Can I ask what other symptoms do you have?
How about eating properly made sea moss and or sea kelp? Appreciate a prompt response, thanks doc.
Sea moss has helped me. I don't know about sea kelp.
Thank for the information. I have suffered of this mucus since a week now. I'm tired about the whole suff. Let me try your remedies.
Best of luck!

And then you can have chronic sinuitis...dec 2018 I contracted TWAR (Chlamydia pneumoniae) AND Mycoplasma, two gram negative bacterias that are coated with a protective shell that makes them difficult to penetrate with antibiotics. Long story short..after 3 years with constant coughing and a FESS operation with removal of 1/2 dl of infectious mass I am able to breath through my nose but the lining of my throat and nostrils are forever weakened and secretion of mucus is a 24/7 battle.
Pickling salt works best with Distilled water
Thank you! I'm going to give these a try. For steam, I did purchase an inexpensive nebulizer. But I'm definitely going to try the homemade saline solution as well.
Glad I could help
I have narrow nostrils which means that at the slightest runny nose I easily get stuffy and then start snoring with my mouth open. I have tried nasal spray and it helps initially, I usually take the one that contains cortisone but am worried about side effects with long-term use. I wonder if I need to contact my doctor for a nose job to get rid of the problems permanently.
I just had sinus and nasal surgery for this problem. My daughter had it, too. It runs in my family. My mother and son need the surgery, as well. I’m only 2 weeks out from surgery but my nose already feels like more air is coming through it.
@@snowwhite7341 how did you manage to get the surgery? I've been trying for over a decade. My nose is always closed up it affects so many aspects of life. My sleep is terrible.
@@ben_dixon I needed sinus surgery and the doc said that since I was going to be knocked out and opened up I should have my deviated septum, bone spurs and collapsed nostrils fixed.
@@snowwhite7341 I'm pleased you got it all fixed. May I ask what country that was in?
@@ben_dixon USA
Anyone wanting to get rid of excess phlegm and mucus should first and foremost eliminate phlegm and mucus producing foods from the diet. Foods such as processed foods, sugar, white bread, pasta, cheese, diary, etc. and instead a diet rich in lemons, lime, green leafy veggies, legumes, cruciferous veggies, etc. Oil pulling each morning followed by a liter of hot lemon or lime water will go a long way to eliminate excess phlegm and mucus.
Hi, would like to know if there’s a difference between cooking the salt with water in a pot and melt the salt with hot water from a flask?
By boiling it, it kills bacteria in the water.
I have mucus for 2 years now. whenever I eat things with chilli🌶️ it increases.
And I'm already tired. it's uncomfortable
U probably have acid reflux
Iam stuffing with a cold at the moment I have not slept for 2days with mucus on my chest and my nasal passage . I don't lie down flat I have quite a few pillars propped up but that does not make any difference really .
Bravo! So helpful and accurate. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
CAN YOU PLEASE TALK ABOUT ITCHING AFTER SHOWER AND ICTHING DURING WORKOUTS? AND HOW TO TREAT THOSE?
Sure thing Franklin, added to the future video list!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Thank you!
Snorting saline sounds like a bad idea. I definitely would get some of it in my lungs or stomach. I think I'll use a spray instead.
It's really great all of that stuff comes out. A salty beach water will definitely do wonders.
I'm not sick but I keep accumulating green phlegm the past couple months and having to forcibly cough it out. Doctors couldn't even figure it out, they thought it was allergies which I never had in my almost 30 years and the medications they gave didn't even help. Idk man smh it's not the worst feeling in the world but it's annoying.
Same symptoms here! An ENT diagnosed it as esophageal irritation from stomach acid reflux.
He prescribed Pantoprazole, it's a antacid. One pill one hour before dinner. Also said to avoid coffee, chocolate, alcohol, tomato products and spicey food. It's helping!
You can get a lung cleanse at the health food store.
Certainly helpful, in my opinion.
@@katt9402 Nice and thanks 4 the heads up!
@@heidimisfeldt5685 I'll check it out thanks
Same with me, im having phlegm for about 3 years now.
All these advises are good but how to stop phlegm from forming in the first place?
I found this very helpful. Thank you. 😊
