Amazing Natural Expectorants To Try

Spicy Cayenne Pepper

Individuals who love spicy foods can also enjoy the benefits of their ability to serve as natural expectorants. Spicy cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which is a chemical compound that acts as a pain reliever. It stimulates the mucous membranes and produces the sensation of heat, resulting in a runny nose. This attribute is responsible for cayenne pepper’s ability to unblock nasal passages and get mucus flowing. It helps loosen, thin, and clear the mucus and phlegm from an individual's nasal passages, lungs, and respiratory tract. Cayenne pepper can be added to food or beverages. It's also available in capsule form.
