today we’re going to talk

excuse me um

today we’re going to talk about how to

get rid of phlegm that is stuck in your

lungs now far too often people reach for

over-the-counter medications and they

wonder why those treatments don’t work

and sometimes even have side effects now

there’s two categories that these

medications fit into you have

medications that suppress this mucus and

then you have medications that pull

mucus out that’s called an expectorant

and of course anytime you suppress a

mucus or a cough you may end up having

that infection a lot longer and then you

may also weaken your immune system plus

you might have some slight minor

complications or side effects like

vomiting nausea diarrhea constipation

and kidney stones now other than that

totally fine and I’m describing the one

medication that is an FDA approved

expectorant all the other ones are

things that suppress mucus so of course

I think the best thing to do is to look

for a natural remedy which I’m going to

talk about right now but I do want to

mention it’s important to exercise your

lungs if you have this mucus that’s

trapped down into the lower part of your

lungs in other words you might want to

try alternating breathing to your chest

deep breaths through the nose and also

then stomach breathing

where you’re pumping the diaphragm up

and down so you can mobilize some of

this mucus another important thing to

eat a lot of if you can do this is

radishes radishes tend to pull mucus

from the deeper tissues in your body

also as a side note if you have a dry

cough there’s no mucus but you have this

dry cough

the usual remedy for that that usually

works like almost 100 of the time is

calcium any type of calcium you just

take it and it will tend to help get rid

of that dry cough great for kids as well

as adults in fact one of the medications

out there for blood pressure called a

calcium channel blocker works by

blocking calcium and the side effect

from that is coughing okay so in this

combination remedy it just involves

three simple ingredients in water okay

onion okay honey

and lemon let’s start off with onions

onions are basically a natural

thinner of mucus they’re a natural a

very effective mucous expectorant they

will help suppress a cough they

especially if it’s viral in nature

they’re high in Sulfur which helps break

up the mucus just like a radishes and

yes you can eat onions but you also can

juice onions if you don’t have a juicer

what you do is you get a grater and you

grate the onions in a little bowl you

put that then in a strainer with some

maybe paper towel and you push the juice

out of it and all you really need is one

tablespoon of this onion juice and

that’s basically 14.7 milliliters for

those people in Europe onions are also

one of the highest sources of quercetin

okay now quercetin is a natural

antihistamine and it has no side effects

so it’s really good for allergies and

mucous production and inflammation and

it calms down an overactive immune

system so we’re going to combine this

onion juice with the next thing on the

list which is honey now if you can get

the Manuka honey that’s a little bit

better but any of the raw Honeys will

work honey has been a known great remedy

to suppress coughing to help as a

natural expectorant to help with mucus

as an antimicrobial anti-inflammatory I

mean think about what these bees do they

go around to all of these flowering

trees and plants and they pull out the

nectar and with that comes a lot of

different pollen so we have all these

factors that can help your own immune

system it’s even considered like a

natural antibiotic of your respiratory

system I mean they use the Manuka Honey

on open wounds to help heal like bed

sores and Manuka honey if you can get it

has this additional X Factor it’s called

MGO and this is a chemical that is a

very powerful antimicrobial but like I

said before you can use any raw honey it

will work honey also has naturally

hydrogen peroxide which is good to kill

pathogens but for upper respiratory

infections like the sinus and lower

respiratory infections it’s an effective

remedy and we’re going to use one

tablespoon that is 14.7 milliliters so

we take these first two ingredients we

mix it with the third ingredient which

is lemon juice right so with the lemon

juice you want to use two tablespoons

which is 29.4 milliliters and the citric

acid in the lemon juice will actually

break up mucus the vitamin C will help

the immune system and lemon is like this

sour somewhat bitter substance which is

great to kind of thin the mucus and also

cause the mucus to kind of come up so

you can get it out of the body now you

want to add these three ingredients to a

cup of water and you want to drink this

three times a day now if you want to add

a couple additional things I would add a

tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to

this and you can even add some ginger

but this is actually a no-brainer are

very simple virtually no side effect

type remedy for getting rid of mucus now

there are other causes of mucus that

need different solutions like if you

have Gerd where you’re having acid

reflux coming up through this your valve

on the top of the stomach if you haven’t

seen my video on that which actually got

over I think 5 million views I put that

up right here check it out
