Take a breath
As winter approaches, breathing often becomes more difficult. Mucus builds up in the throat, nose and bronchial tubes. This congestion can lead to common infections such as colds or flu, and sometimes to more serious conditions like bronchitis. But what causes excess mucus production? And how can you naturally clear your airways?
WHAT IS AIRWAY CONGESTION?
Airway congestion causes a feeling of pressure in the chest.
It occurs when the mucous glands produce too much mucus.
This excess mucus builds up in the airways.
It blocks the respiratory tract and limits proper airflow.
CAUSE AND SYMPTOMS
The immune system triggers mucus overproduction as a natural defense against pathogens.
When a virus or bacterium enters the respiratory tract, the airways produce mucus to trap it before it spreads through the body.
This reaction causes inflammation and activates the immune response.
In response, the mucous glands produce extra mucus to block the pathogen responsible for the inflammation.
The body then expels this mucus through the throat with the help of fine hairs lining the nasal cavity and trachea, or it is swallowed and eliminated by the stomach.
Coughing plays an essential role in clearing excess mucus from the airways.
