First, we’re going to talk about what mucus is. If I had to compare it to something, I would compare it to gelatin. Mucus acts as a lubricant and a filter for our lungs. It protects them by filtering all the air we breathe in. The dirt and debris that is in the air are caught by the mucus so it’s not absorbed by the body. But it is not just the mucus that protects the lungs. There are other watery variations that play an important role. They work together and are created by cells that you can find in the nose and sinuses. Do you notice that when you catch a cold your nose drips like a faucet? This occurs because of an excess of the watery sensation. This is caused by thick, crusty mucus. In most cases, this type of mucus will cause post-nasal drip and congestion. What is phlegm? Now that I have explained what mucus is, let me tell you about phlegm. Unlike mucus, phlegm is created in the lower airways. Like mucus, it helps protect the lungs from irritating dirt and debris. Phlegm does not have a slippery version like mucus does. It is typically very thick and causes the majority of congestions. When you blow your nose, mucus comes out of it. When you cough up a thick substance, it is usually phlegm. Another fun fact about phlegm is that it usually contains dead bacteria, white blood cells, and viruses. This is why doctors recommend that you spit out phlegm rather than swallow it. You wouldn’t want to keep a virus in your body, would you? The remedy: So if you are suffering from congestion, try this 100% natural remedy. You will need the following ingredients: 1 cup of maple syrup, 250mg of filtered water, 1 organic lemon, 1 tbsp of sage, 1 tbsp of marshmallow root, and 1 tbsp of flaxseed. Once you gather the ingredients, it’s time to make the remedy. First get a saucepan and combine the maple syrup and the water. Heat the saucepan on medium for 10 minutes. Once it’s heated, add the remaining ingredients. Once the remaining ingredients are added, lower the heat and keep it on the stove for 15 minutes. You can store this remedy in the fridge. For full effect, take one tablespoon three times a day until you’re not congested anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to Bestie : https://goo.gl/tUqro6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestieinc/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medical Disclaimer: https://pastebin.com/xLmigD6i Website: www.bestie.com
