Here’s a simple, natural recipe to help clear your throat and lungs of mucus using just 2 ingredients that work as gentle expectorants:
🍯 Honey & Ginger Tea
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hot water (not boiling)
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or ginger powder)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions:
- Pour hot water over ginger and let it steep for 5–10 minutes.
- Strain out the ginger pieces (optional).
- Stir in the honey until dissolved.
- Drink slowly while warm.
Why It Works:
- Ginger: Contains compounds that reduce inflammation, loosen mucus, and soothe the respiratory tract.
- Honey: Natural antibacterial, soothes irritated throat lining, and helps break down mucus.
Additional Tips:
- Drink 2–3 times daily as needed.
- Keep hydrated with plenty of fluids to thin mucus.
- Use a humidifier or inhale steam for added relief.
This combo is gentle and safe for most people, but avoid honey for children under 1 year old.
