Learn how to get rid of mucus/phlegm with this old folk recipe. Check out the article we found over at Healthy Life Land.
Onions contain extraordinarily powerful compounds that possess many health benefits. Due to their disinfectant and anti-inflammatory properties, onions have long been used to ward off and relieve symptoms of the common flu including coughs. When it comes to coughs, there are several types, and the worst one is hacking or productive cough. Here, we provide an excellent folk remedy that can successfully clean your lungs of phlegm, thus relieve cough attacks.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE PRODUCTIVE COUGH
Productive cough is normally the nastiest one because it goes together with tightness in the chest, a wheezing sound while breathing, mucus accumulation in the chest and airway, and phlegm cough. It’s usually caused by thick mucus build up.
The colour of phlegm is also important as it reveals what causes it:
Yellow phlegm: It’s caused by an immune response to inflammation in the airways.
Green phlegm: It’s caused by a serious bacterial infection, such as bronchitis.
Clear phlegm: It’s the normal type of phlegm.
Pink phlegm: It’s caused by asthma.
Brown phlegm: It’s caused by air pollution or smog.
Grey phlegm: It’s caused by cigarette smoke.

Some old time drug stores have menthol crystals, and when mixed with whisky and honey, lemon, it will cure what ails you.
