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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
I get histamine reactions to many foods, the biggest culprit being citrus fruits, avocado, strawberries, tomatoes, dairy, chocolate, wine and many more!
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
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 began daily nasal washing with warm saline in 1995. I haven't missed a day in 26+ years. I also have taken guaifenesin daily since 1995. No more excess phlegm ! Many fewer colds and the flu ONCE in 26+ years! Wash your nose every day!
I was suffering from allergies, including mucus and post nasal drip. Doctors prescribed heavier and heavier meds, which messed my stomach up ( story for another day). I stopped eaying dairy products and my lifelong troubles were over.
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.
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 !
My local pharmacy employs a Herbalist. She is a very busy member of staff and her advice is highly regarded. I believe that if western medicine (a modern invention) were more open to incorporating this knowledge in their practice, we would all benefit.
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
Quitting modern wheat and gluten changed things for me....what a happy surprise! I was just trying to lose weight and stop tummy pains. Today I can breathe so much better!!!
@@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. Really, anything our body doesn't like can start mucus build up...it reminds me of a tiny grain of sand irritating the oyster and the oyster covering the sand grain with layers of mucus until it's a pearl! Well I'm not an oyster, so I avoid modern wheat bread and wheat products.
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'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.
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.
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.
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'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!
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.
Just chanced on this video which is very helpful. Have been dealing with post nasal drip for almost a year. Thanks a bunch. Looking forward to future videos

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

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...
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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
I ave serious allergies! Phlegm isn't exactly a problem just a pain in the butt. Just like you described it I clear my throat all day and it's torture. Plus interrupts what I'm doing having to listen to myself make that god awful noise all day.
I had COVID-19 twice. Canada Dry and cayenne got me through the last stages both times. I smoke (on special occasions) CBD marijuana and, because I don’t hardly ever smoke, I get a really bad mucus problem about 2-3 days after I stop. I blend ginger, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, a whole orange with a small rip off of the skin, a lemon and a small rip off of the skin, honey, and a cored pineapple and then drink and relax while drinking enough water throughout the day.

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.

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..
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?

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.
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
My favourite after Dr House
😂
I eat Garlick 2. It helps me 2. It's a natural antibiotic the garlic it's very good for u.
Not if you have hypotensive problems.
great video! Thank you. Is drinking cold water or warm water better?
Can a NAC supplement help with this problem?
I get all those symptoms and signs, including the headaches.
Very good advice and tips, will try them all, thank you and I'll let you know which is best for me.
.
Awesome!
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!
The salt rinse does actually work
*gargle*
Awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
Wonderful advice. Thanks for the tips. Good health to you 😊
Sending awesome vibes :)
Bravo! So helpful and accurate. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
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.
Pickling salt works best with Distilled water
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 found this very helpful. Thank you. 😊
You're so welcome!
Boil cinnamon cloves and ginger together and drink .👍
Musenex has served me well. Although I am open to other protocols since mine may not work in all cases.
Mucus is horrible choking me tks for.sharing
Hope my tips help
This is great information. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
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?
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!
All these advises are good but how to stop phlegm from forming in the first place?
How often can I use the nasal rinse in a day? Thanks for all the info.
As many times as you want. No side effects.
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.
Very helpful, informative video!
Glad it was helpful!
THANK., YOU, .Mr.ABRAHAM, The Pharmactist, YOU,ARE A BLESSING..😇😇😇😇😇

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.
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!
Thank you so much 💓 for the helpful information. Am so grateful 🙏 🤲
You are so welcome
I made a saline solution, but I can't gargle it because my stomach is upset right now so I'm a bit nauseous 😭
I ave serious allergies! Phlegm isn't exactly a problem just a pain in the butt. Just like you described it I clear my throat all day and it's torture. Plus interrupts what I'm doing having to listen to myself make that god awful noise all day.
The supplement Quercetin helped me a lot with my allergies. It also made me tired, so I take it in the afternoon now.
I had COVID-19 twice. Canada Dry and cayenne got me through the last stages both times. I smoke (on special occasions) CBD marijuana and, because I don’t hardly ever smoke, I get a really bad mucus problem about 2-3 days after I stop. I blend ginger, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, a whole orange with a small rip off of the skin, a lemon and a small rip off of the skin, honey, and a cored pineapple and then drink and relax while drinking enough water throughout the day.
It's flu
@@lizamali1619 I don’t understand what you mean.
@@lizamali1619 positive Covid test from both the hospital and the Covid test stand at my local community center. It wasn’t the flu dumdum
Hey and did it work in clearing your mucus?
I have covid I am spiting 20 times mucus and throat ache is it normal
Hello Doctor, I suffer from bronchiectasis and persistent phlegm discharge.. What do you advise me? I am 38 years old
Can I ask what other symptoms you have? Did you try inhalers and any allergy medicine?

There is a company named Sinus Wars. They sell many different sinus meds. The one for Post Nasal Drip works fantastically.
There is an underlying cause that you have not been properly tested for yet. Sinus meds may help, but other symptoms will continue to come and go. If you would like proper guidance for free, please send me an email. I have over 3 decades of experience. My email address and a brief summary of what I do are in the "About" section of my RUclips profile. Click on the "E" in the circle next to my comment and then click the "About" tab.
Steaming tea tree oil or eculiptus oil it's good to remove muscus blocked sinus ears etc
But he said all natural is a waste of money…
@@George-nn8ui he will say that because he.s all for big pharma...don't forget natural products were put on this earth to cure us way way before pharma chemicals
@@George-nn8ui medical doctors often encourage medical treatments. Nothing better than nature in my book. I use ACV with ginger and Himalayan salt in warm filtered water. Gargle several times a day. Worked for me.
@@George-nn8ui well he would say that as there's no £££ in it for him
@@cathygr well done. Couldn't agree with you more.
I didn't even think about clearing my throat until I started watching this. :-D
I have had this issue for years also, It is embarrassing and yep sometimes I feel like my head is going to pop!😬
Had it effected your ears or hearing,do u have tinnitus?
These are legit help. My mom always have me do these
Sending awesome vibes
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)
Great Video thank you❤
Thanks for watching!
thanks for this info....i have also...does this mean there's no permanent solution on this?
Is it dangerous if mucus or phlegm come into lungs? Bc I feel like mucus is in my lungs

Sunflower oil makes mucus in the body???????????????I use sunflower oil ona regular basis
Some of us are allergic to sunflower products.
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.
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?
Steam inhalation is king!!! After regular exercise that is.
Thanks for sharing :)
