Salt causes water to move out of the cell, eliminating these pathogens through dehydration. Salt thins mucus with this same mechanism. Salt removes water from the mucus, making it thinner so that it can be more easily expelled from the body. To eliminate mucus using salt, dissolve a teaspoon of sea salt (not table salt) in a glass of water. Drink or gargle the salt water. This exposes the mouth and throat to salt, which helps to get rid of mucus, improves immunity, and strengthens the autonomic nervous system. You can also use diluted apple cider vinegar. This changes the pH and helps kill microbes. A Neti pot uses nasal irrigation to gently send a stream of diluted salt water through your sinuses, helping to thin the mucus. If you have a constant post-nasal drip, you may have a fungal infection or mold issue going on in your sinuses, and cutting sugar from your diet may help. You can also use a humidifier with a saltwater solution while you sleep. A humidifier turns liquid into vapor, allowing you to inhale the salt water. Halotherapy, or salt therapy, can also be beneficial. If none of these remedies seem to be working, an ear infection could be the source of your mucus. In this case, try putting four to five drops of saltwater directly into each ear. You can try the same thing with diluted apple cider vinegar or use one drop of garlic oil in each ear. Vitamin D supports your immune system and helps prevent mucus. Vitamin D deficiencies are associated with enlarged tonsils, sinus allergies, sinus mucus, and ear infections. Try taking 20,000 to 50,000 IU of vitamin D once per week to address mucus. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

I used to always have throat mucus pretty much my entire life. I would drive my wife crazy by constantly clearing my throat. I noticed it would get worse after eating grains. These days I eat close to zero grains and never have throat mucus problems anymore.

I once had a persistent severe sinus infection. Went surfing —being an amateur, I was in the wrong place to actually “catch” the wave. Wave pitched me causing ocean salt water to flood my sinuses resulting in a large release of thick, green mucus. Within 3 days, the sinus infection was completely gone!

When I was young, I became ill and couldn't even keep water down. The doctors were baffled. As a last resort, I was given salt water, in sips only. It worked.

We have an old belief in the Philippines that if you don’t feel well just go and have a quick swim in the sea and the effects are even better if you do it early in the morning

I used to have severe migraine headaches that would blur my vision. A nutritionist told me to add salt to my food, since I had not been adding it because I thought it was not healthy. I was wrong. I generously added a quality salt to all my daily meals, including a pinch in my morning coffee. My migraine headaches disappeared, and I have not had a migraine headache in three years.
