Natural Mucus-Clearing Drink
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hot water

Instructions

Additional Tips to Clear Mucus
- Stay hydrated: Drink water throughout the day to thin mucus.
- Steam inhalation: Inhale steam from hot water with a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
- Avoid irritants: Smoking, strong perfumes, or dusty environments can worsen mucus.

💡 Important:
