Too much mucous in the throat

[honeycomb]

I too have suffered in the last 5 years from too much mucous in the throat.  I am doing a good deal of research and I am now trying a holistic approach - Apple Cider Vinegar (must be unpasturized/raw/unfiltered/). The dosage is 2 tsp. before each meal or diluted with water and drank during the meal (you'd have to love vinegar to drink it during your meal - o-o-o-o-o no, not me). Anyway, I am giving it a try and will keep you all posted on how this works.  I do know that dairy products product excess mucous so that might be part of the problem.  I have also read where the processing of milk (pasturized/homogenized) may be part of the problem. Of course we all know about the problem with these cows receiving anitbiotics and hormone injections.  Perhaps we should all become vegetarians we might live a longer life.  I am wondering if the byproducts in foods and even the processing of milk etc.. doesn't all this have a strong effect on our systems. Are we suffering because we're not eating the way people used to eat 100 years ago? Could this be the reason why we have these problems, too many additives,preservatives, byproducts etc...?

Have your lungs checked. It may not be sinuses, especially if you lived in a non-smoke-free home. We lived in toxic mold three and a half years and after we evacuated, it turns out I know have COPD. Which causes that mucus. In asthmA, for example, your bronchial tube swells and has mucus as the air it's able to expel ( not breathing in, but breathing out) gets less and less room.

Included with this is constantly clearing your throat, coughing, possibly wheezing, and yes, after a while your vocal cords now make you cough. Laughing. Cold, heat, crying. And because you're so mucusEd up, you'll gag and sometimes throw up. The act of being sick then causes an asthmA attack..  I'm Rambling. Please, sinuses not causing this, nor allergies, or ENT, have your lungs checked. Also if you already use asthma or COPD medicine, check the INHALENT ingredient. Turns out I'm allergic to the ones in several types. It took.A couple of years to figure it out and saved my life. Everything got back to MY normal. Good luck! Oh and I tried the vinegar, too and I gag. It really stinks. I even tried putting it in a roast and.. Nasty stuff!

I have just started to have a bit of a mucus problem. It always feels like there's something in the back of my throat, and I almost feel like I can't breathe at times (I have to remind myself to breathe through my nose!). I think I know what I need to do: about a year ago I started "oil pulling" to naturally whiten my teeth (Google oil pulling and read through the loads of forums on it, you'll see how awesome it is). I bought a bottle of sunflower oil ($4.99 at Wholefoods) and every morning BEFORE I ate anything or brushed my teeth (it must be on an empty stomach) I would swig a large tablespoon-sized portion of it into my mouth and swish it around for about 20 minutes (the longer the better; you get used to doing it while you are doing other things). I did this for about 3 solid weeks, and after the first week, my teeth were like shiny pearls! They felt squeaky clean all day, even after all the junk I ate and drank. The other upside was my skin looked fabulous! Go research this stuff because it seems to cure all sorts of ailments involving the mouth and throat. It takes a minute to get used to (the texture is kinda weird at first), but there is definitely something healing going on when you do this. Hope this helps!
