What Is Mucus and How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing Excessive Mucus Production? - #14993
For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with excessive mucus in my throat and chest. It feels like I’m constantly clearing my throat, and I’m having trouble breathing clearly, especially at night. I’m not sure if it’s due to allergies, a cold, or something more chronic, but I’m frustrated with the constant discomfort. I’ve tried over-the-counter decongestants, but they only provide temporary relief, and I want to find a more natural way to manage this issue. I’ve heard that Ayurveda views excess mucus as a result of an imbalance in the body’s doshas, particularly Kapha, and that it can affect the respiratory system. I’m curious if there are Ayurvedic treatments, herbs, or practices that can help clear excess mucus and restore balance to my respiratory system. Can herbs like Tulsi, Ginger, and Pippali help in breaking down the mucus and improving breathing? Additionally, I’m wondering if Ayurveda has dietary recommendations for someone dealing with excess mucus. Are there foods I should avoid, like dairy or fried foods, that could worsen the condition, and what foods can help reduce mucus production? Has anyone here experienced excessive mucus and found relief through Ayurvedic treatments? What herbs, oils, or lifestyle changes helped you reduce mucus and improve your breathing?
