Hello Puti, sputum is from the coughing I understand. Is that correct? Have you gotten your chest examined? Blood tests CBC, ESR, CRP & sputum test done? Please share the results. Excessive mucus denotes imbalance in Agni (digestive system) & increase in Kapha dosha.
Have only Warm, light foods: Consume warm, easily digestible foods like soups, broths, and cooked vegetables. Avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods that can aggravate Kapha.
Spices: Use warming spices like ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon in your food to help reduce mucus and improve digestion.
Honey: Honey is excellent for balancing Kapha and reducing sputum. A spoonful of raw honey with warm water in the morning helps clear the respiratory tract. Have 1/4 tsp of Sitopaladi churna with 1/4 tsp honey before breakfast and after lunch and after dinner. Tab Kasakuthar 1-1-1 after meals. Triphala powder 1 tsp after an hour of dinner.

To better understand your condition and provide the most effective Ayurvedic guidance, I would like to gather some more details. Could you please share more about the nature of your sputum production? Is it thick or watery? What color is it, and does it increase during specific seasons or after consuming certain foods? Additionally, do you experience any other symptoms like congestion, headaches, facial pressure, or postnasal drip? How are your digestion and energy levels? Have you noticed any particular triggers that seem to worsen your sinus and allergy issues? This information will help determine the root cause and provide a more targeted Ayurvedic treatment plan to address your chronic sputum production.

I get it, dealing with excessive sputum for years must be super frustrating. Especially when you’ve tried treatments and see no improvement. Sputum, in Ayurveda, is often related to Kapha dosha imbalance. When Kapha goes out of whack, it tends to create heaviness, congestion, and excessive mucus production.
Let’s try some things from an Ayurvedic perspective. First, diet. Switching to a lighter, drying diet can help decrease Kapha. Reduce heavy, oily, and cold foods. Try to include more warming spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric in your meals. These can kinda act like decongestants.
Then there's herbal support. Trikatu, which is a combination of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger, might help you with reducing excess mucus. Take it with honey (a Kapha reducer) once or twice a day after meals. Triphala is another herbal Rasyana, known for balancing doshas. It might help improve your digestion and clear up those lingering mucus issues.
Lifestyle-wise, you might want to avoid naps during the day, as they can increase Kapha. Exercise is your friend here, too. It doesn't have to be high-intensity; even a daily brisk walk or yoga could help.
Neti pot usage might also be beneficial. Nasal irrigation with a saline solution to clear the nasal passage can sometimes drastically reduce sinus-related mucus build-up.
But here’s a thought too, closely monitor how these tips work for you. Not everything works for everyone, and I recommend staying in touch with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can guide you. If symptoms feel severe, like affecting breathing or sleep, please don't hesitate to seek further medical examination or intervention.
