BSD..The best natural remedy for any chest congestion is chewing up cloves of raw garlic. I find it amazingly effective in gastro-intestinal problems, like stomach flu...also does break up lung congestion fast. I think it works best chopped or chewed, and I slice up a couple of big cloves on a sandwich or salsa dish. For best results only used unblemished, unsprouted cloves that feel hard and solid, not spongy.
About 20 years ago, a good friend of mine was out deer hunting down by the river in mid-winter in cold damp weather, and had an asthma attack, collapsed and fell out of his tree stand. By the time they found him and rushed him to the hospital, he had advanced pneumonia, and they removed most of one of his lungs (collapsed lung). He was an old school biker/lifter and was back laying carpets and using a knee kicker in a couple of weeks. He told me chewing up cloves of RAW garlic did more to clear up his lung congestion than all the antibiotics he was on.
Get LOCAL, RAW honey from your health food store and take it by the tablespoon for congestion in your chest. You can't get anti-bacterial effects from grocery store honey, as it is pasteurized, and all the healing enzymes are destroyed.
I always drink a cup of lukewarm tea each morning made with 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar and one overflowing teaspoon RAW honey. Again.....always use RAW and UNPASTEURIZED Apple Cider Vinegar, with the cloudy "Mother of Vinegar" included. This tea will prevent and help relieve sinus and cold infections as well.
Just take it easy and get well my friend. Prayers going your way right now.
I got inhalers today so feeling better
