Use Salt to Clear Mucus and Phlegm in the Throat Airways Lungs

DO NOT DRINK THE SALT WATER - ONLY GARGLE IT.

Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride, and it can come in different sizes and shapes with different trace elements that may influence the flavor. But essentially, salt is sodium chloride.
Salt therapy has been used for hundreds of years as a simple and effective solution for managing respiratory conditions including sinus congestion, sore throat, and mucus problems. Salt has antimicrobial properties that can combat various pathogens, making it a powerful natural remedy.
When it comes to mucus, salt attracts water into the airways, which thins the mucus and makes it easier to cough out. Inhaling sea air, gargling with warm salt water, taking a salt bath, or creating a mini steam bath are all easy ways to benefit from the power of salt therapy.
For people with chronic lung diseases, a nebulizer is often prescribed. This device uses a water solution called hypertonic saline, which is a concentrated salt solution that helps to clear mucus from the airways.

I bought a salt lamp which has salt crystals and you also put water in it. I fill it with salt water (Himalayan pink salt) it gives off a vapour, which fills the bedroom, so I am breathing salt air all night. I have had a chronic cough for 3 years, X rays CT scans courses of antibiotics, nothing worked, and no cause found. 2 weeks with the salt lamp and my cough has gone.

Just gargle with salt solution. For sinusitis problems - nasal rinsing with baking soda, salt, and water mix is excellent.

I did that tonight and it really worked. Thank you 😊

As I've got older I wake every morning with cattarh and phlegm. Strange thing is I bought a Himalayan salt inhaler and forgot to use it. Thanks for reminding me.👍

I have a small portable nebuliser which uses salt solution. I find it excellent

Salt is also excellent for the skin helping to heal minor wounds. Yes it burns but it works.

Dust can cause conjestion, sinus and allergies phlegm. Reflex can cause phlem in throat too

Great and effect advice. I produce a lot of mucus from asthma and acid reflex. I'm prescribed inhalers but I do not like putting meds in my body and rarely use them. I've been gargling with salt water. Big decrease in mucus production.

Poor air quality is the #1 factor in sinus and chest congestion....pet dander attributes a lot to the problem in my case...

I believe the salt recommendation is 1/2 tsp to 8 oz of warm to hot water.
Note: The reason I'm saying 1/2 tsp is because 1 tsp of salt may be too salty for some as myself. If you have laryngospasm the salt might irritate your throat and close as it did to me. When something irritates my throat, whether that be a very sweet candy or too much salt my throat will close from thirty seconds or more until the muscles in my throat relax and start to open. Can't breathe in that time and a little scary.
Not too scare anyone but for some 1 tsp is ok, it's just a precaution to some.

I have been rinsing my sinuses with lukewarm salt water for many years. Invest in the Saline Rinse Kit once to get the bottle with the nozzle, thereafter make your own solution. I have never looked back

Thank you for the update and i'm going to have to try this
