In this informative health video, Dr. Arya explains the underlying causes of persistent phlegm and congestion, noting that it often arises from the body’s protective mucus production being triggered by allergens, infections, or dietary factors like dairy and citrus. To effectively manage and clear this buildup, she recommends prioritizing drainage through increased hydration, steam inhalation with herbs like basil, and specific breathing exercises that involve forceful exhalation. Furthermore, the video highlights natural remedies such as using Mexican Mint (Panikoorka) juice mixed with honey and applying camphor-infused coconut oil to the chest and throat to loosen mucus. For chronic issues, specialized techniques like Jalaneti are suggested under expert guidance, though the doctor emphasizes seeking professional medical consultation if symptoms persist or involve lower respiratory tract infections.
