Will Citrus flavored Green Tea break up mucus?
Ok..i got sick of late the other day, i have a really bad sore throat but later it cleared up. So now i with the sole purpose have mucus flooding my lungs and i can only just breathe. And ive heard ppl read aloud drink hot tea with lemon surrounded by it and the lemon will break up the mucus. Well we buy the store bought tea and i drink Green Tea with citrus falovor..which have lemon in it. So what im wondering is, if i drink the green tea near citrus in it alot, will the mucus peroxide up/break up/dissolve?
Answer: I think it should remove the colour up!
you're asking if its okay to drink something loaded with sugar and unnecessary ingredients...and while i guess it couldn't hurt too much, i would suggest any of the following...(you could pick them up at assorted GNC-type stores, or drugstores)...
Bayberry(roots and bark)-clears congestion
Black Cohosh(rhizomes and roots)-reduces mucus production
Boneset(flower petals and leaves)-relieves congestion, loosens phlegm
Chickweed(various parts)- reduces mucus buildup surrounded by the lungs
Feverfew(bark, dried flowers, and leaves)-increases fluidity of lungs and bronchial tube mucus(helps you cough it up)
Horehound(flowers and leaves)-decreases thickness and increases fluidity of fluid contained by the lungs
Nettle(flowers, leaves, root)-an expectorant(helps you cough it up)
Drinking hot tea with lemon within it works to break up mucus and helps make well the body. Tea - all kind of natural tea, have antioxidants in it that support boost the body's own natural immune system. Processed, pre-made and pre-packaged store-bought tea does not. Citrus flavor is a short time ago that - flavor made from chemicals. It does not contain any actual lemon. Real lemons, because of the acid surrounded by it, breaks up fat and mucus contained by a person's body. When you drink lots of fluid, especially hot teas, you are inhaling the steam and warming your insides. Hot wet breaks up congestion also. No it will not.
Try taking a shower and inhaling the steam. That works wonders for breaking up the mucus, and is far more healthy for the body than taking drug. Another thing that works is spicy food. Nothing loosens the mucus close to Cayenne pepper.
