I forever howking up to try and move it ..but however much I do so and manage to get up ..theres always a ball of it just stuck at the back of my throat . Sometimes I can grab it and drag it out from the back of my throat .. thick and stringy .. and could almost tie it in a knot . Gross eh :-(

Ive tried steam inhalation .. gargling .. drinking loads of water . . and still its the same . Had this problem about three years now . Is there anybody out there that help me please .

Thank you

Only piece of peer reviewed medico-scientific evidence for treatment of severe idiopathic refractory non-allergic rhinitis (which is what we all seem to have) that Ive found.

do you use fresh oregano and how do you get it in the saline solution.  I use the neti pot and put the salt packet and some baking soda a pinch. do you just put some oregano in" my sister lives in france and her pharmacist mentioned oil of oregano which I have not found.  I have extreme secretions all day since jan 2013. finally they may do deviated septum surgery for it pockets by left nose and is never gone enough to eat . I eat very little bits and on a feeding peg to survive.  so if oregano helps pls tell me how.  I am going to try other things.  polarity massage. and more homepathetic.  I think the holistic ideas are better than any ent

I have also had this problem for the past two years but it didnt last. There is no real cure for this. All I had to do is to stay away from junk foods, cofee and smoking for two weeks. Keep a bottle of water with you all the time and sip almost every five minutes and stay away from chilled beverages. Also reduce your sugar intake. Make sure the first thing you do in the morning is to brush your teeth and do same before you go to sleep.  This situation can really make life miserable and very unconfortable, sometimes you even find it annoying when peoplentalk to you but one interestinly one of the quickerst ways to get tue phlems out of your throat is but talking a lot at least withing 10 mins. Good luck

To all of you who are suffering from phlegm issues...

I know of a physician who has a fantastic understanding of this. All of the symptoms I am seeing on this thread can be traced back to a blocked lymphatic system. Unlike most doctors who focus on treating symptoms, Dr Robert Morse (a biochemist, naturopath, master herbalist with over 40 years of experience healing advanced cancers and other degenerative diseases) focuses on the root cause of dis-ease and can empower you to get your health back. (He has done this for me and thousands of others!) I recommend starting by viewing his intro video, entitled "The Great Lymphatic System."
