so i have a question for you what color is  your phlegm now that’s a very weird question  

first of all what is phlegm well phlegm is mucus  that is originating from your respiratory system  

usually something from the lungs not necessarily  from your sinuses and then when you cough it up  

that’s called sputum and your body actually makes  about one liter of this phlegm every single day so  

there’s quite a bit that’s being produced and then  when you have an infection it can be a lot more  

now let’s just go through the different colors of  phlegm just so you can get a ballpark idea of what  

could be going on if the phlegm is white or clear  that could indicate more allergies or asthma if  

it’s dark yellow that usually indicates a mild  infection and if it’s green it could be more  

of a severe infection now if it’s darker like like  almost black that can be a fungal infection brown  

phlegm could be more of a lung disease if it’s  gray that’s usually because the person’s a smoker  

now if it’s pink or red suspect blood and that  could come from the nose coming down that could  

be because the air is too dry or it could be a  vitamin c deficiency where the capillaries are  

fragile or it could be even a vitamin d deficiency  now there is a rare chance that there could be a  

lung cancer involved or it could indicate a  tb infection so if it’s a bacterial infection  

usually it takes between 10 and 14 days if it’s a  viral infection it could take a little bit longer  

but if you wanted to thin this mucus or phlegm and  try to extract as much as possible there’s three  

remedies i’m going to recommend number one zinc at  least 50 milligrams number two vitamin d at least  

10,000 IUs of vitamin d3 and one of the best herbs  to use in this situation is called fenugreek and  

this can act as a very powerful expectorant to get  rid of this mucus all right thanks for watching so
