How to Get Rid of Chest Congestion with Natural Remedies

Method 1: Use a DIY Decongestant

This DIY decongestant has all the right ingredients to help ease symptoms and promote healing.
Due to the probiotics present in apple cider vinegar, it can help beat your congestion at its root by targeting the infection itself. Lemon juice will provide your body with vitamin C, which can help neutralize the effects of the pathogens in your body.
Cayenne pepper can help clear your sinuses and thin out the mucus. Ginger will boost your immune system and prevent mucus buildup. The purpose of honey in the recipe is not just to improve taste. Honey has bactericidal properties to treat the infection and will also relieve the soreness in your throat.
Things you’ll need:

  • Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (ACV) (targets the infection) – ¼ cup
  • Lemon juice, freshly squeezed (helps neutralize the effects of bacteria) – ¼ cup
  • Raw honey (treats the infection) – 3 tablespoons
  • Ginger powder (prevents mucus buildup) – ½ teaspoon
  • Cayenne pepper powder (helps clear sinuses) – ½ teaspoon

Step 1. Simmer lemon juice and ACV in a pan

  • Pour ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice into a pan.
  • Pour in ¼ cup of raw, unfiltered ACV as well.
  • Place the pan over heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

 

Step 2. Stir in cayenne and ginger powder along with honey

  • Pour the mixture into a container.
  • Shake well before each use to get the most out of the remedy, as the powders in the recipe tend to settle.
  • Take 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture daily to relieve chest congestion.

Repeat the remedy until the congestion clears.
