0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk, excuse me, today we're going to talk about how to get rid of |
0:09.5 | Flem that is stuck in your lungs. Now far too often people reach for over the |
0:16.5 | counter medications and they wonder why those treatments don't work and sometimes even have |
0:21.9 | side effects. Now there's two categories that these medications fit into. You have medications |
0:26.8 | that suppress this mucus and then you have medications that pull mucus out. That's called |
0:32.5 | an expectant and of course anytime you suppress mucus or a cough you may end up having that infection |
0:40.4 | a lot longer and then you may also weaken your immune system. Plus you might have some slight |
0:46.4 | minor complications or side effects like vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, constipation and kidney stones. |

1:39.2 | of if you can do this is radishes. Radishes tend to pull mucus from the deeper tissues in your |
1:44.4 | body also as a side note if you have a dry cough there's no mucus but you have this dry cough |
1:49.6 | the usual remedy for that that usually works like almost 100% of the time is calcium. Any type |
1:55.2 | of calcium you just take it and it will tend to help get rid of that dry cough great for kids |
2:02.0 | as well as adults. In fact one of the medications out there for blood pressure called |
2:08.0 | a calcium channel blocker works by blocking calcium and the side effect from that is coughing. |
