How to dry up mucus in the lungs?

As annoying as mucus in the lungs can be, it’s an essential part of our respiratory system. It helps protect us from foreign objects and keeps our airways moist, so we don’t end up looking like a dried-up prune.

Water is your best friend when it comes to drying out mucus in your lungs. Drinking plenty of fluids thins out the gooey substance and makes it easier for you to cough it up without feeling like a human hacky sack.

If drinking water isn’t cutting it, try inhaling steam (not hot sauce)! Steam acts as a natural decongestant by breaking down stubborn mucus buildup and flushing it out of your system.

You can use a humidifier or vaporizer at home or fill your bathroom with steam by taking a hot shower for your daily singing performance!

Gargling saltwater may not sound super pleasant but hear me out- it works! It’s an age-old remedy for drying out the secretions in your throat and sinuses while reducing inflammation (and keeping those pearly whites clean!).
