    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.

      @@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.

      ​@@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.

    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 !

I can somewhat cope with sourdough bread, but, even then the mucus can slowly return.

    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...

  • @ronniemead805
    @ronniemead805 Год назад +2

    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.

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.

    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! 😭

      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..
