Today, we’re going to talk about the different causes of mucus in the back of your throat.
Some traditional treatments for excess phlegm can come with side effects that create bigger problems. So, I also want to cover some great natural remedies for mucus in your throat.
Potential causes of constant mucus and how to get rid of mucus:
1. GERD
• Take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride before meals
2. Postnasal drip
• Use a neti pot with water and sea salt (for mild cases)
• Use a neti pot with water and a small amount of baby shampoo (for more severe cases)
• Use a Q-tip to apply a diluted povidone-iodine mixture to the inside of both nostrils and gargle with the rest of the mixture
3. Allergies
• Avoid potential environmental triggers
• Do intermittent and prolonged fasting
• Avoid dairy
You can also try a unique acupressure technique that I’ve found works wonders to get rid of mucus—and don't forget to support your immune system.
The best ways to support your immune system:
1. Consume more garlic
2. Avoid sugar
3. Take vitamin D
4. Take vitamin C
5. Take zinc
6. Take calcium lactate (for a cough)

I just got more useful information from you in 16 minutes than all of my doctors over my lifetime.
-
I’ve lived with the combo platter of throat mucus, Gerd, acid reflux, hiatal hernia and IBS for a since I was in my 30s. 73 now and your tip of drinking water with lemon juice and apple cider vinegar has helped tremendously. My doctors have only prescribed acid blockers which work temporarily and aren’t a solution, perhaps even a detriment. I’m also trying to eat smaller meals with little or no carbs. Thanks, I’m especially enjoying these low cost remedies that actually work.
-
A doctor that finally cares about people.
-
REALLY IMPORTANT!!! YOU HAVE TO USE DISTILLED OR BOILED WATER IN A NETI POT!! I'm surprised Dr. Berg did not mention that. It is SO important, there have been rare instances where people have died from infection that spreads to the brain from microorganisms in the water they use. Use distilled water or water that has been boiled for at least 3 minutes and cooled.

I quit cow milk 8 years ago and I notice a significant reduction in my mucous production. Well said Dr Berg.
-
I found out I was diabetic about a month ago. I have changed my diet, a lot less sugar, and better overall, higher quality food. My mucus and breathing have improved about 80%. So less sugar and fasting helps. Thanks Doc.
-
I have severe environmental allergies, Fall being my worst season. This year has been my best year for relief with allergy symptoms. On keto, drinking ACV with lemon juice daily. I also fast, one meal a day, no snacks. Thank you Dr Berg, I’ve never felt better.
-
Thankyou Dr.Berg!You must be assured that there are thousands of people who benefit from your advice and here in Britain,our health system is crumbling and it is increasingly difficult to see a doctor face to face so your videos are invaluable!

I had mucus coming up my throat for 40 years since I was a kid, and I always wondered why. When I contracted covid in 2021, the X-ray showed a mass in my airway the size of a softball and turned out it had a quart of fluid. This cyst was pushing against my right airway to my lung. it actually bent it, and that's what caused the irritation that caused the green phlegm to come up for 40 years. I had the cyst removed 5 months after its discovery. If I didn't catch covid i never would have known this.

This is why some YouTube videos are absolutely indispensable. THANK YOU.

As a kid I have been treated for the same issue with injections, pill, red lights therapy and so on. For 10+ years I have accepted I have some kind of allergies. Today i got a nasal saline spray. 5 minutes after the first wash I can feel instant relief and clearing of the airways. Thank you doctor Eric.
-
Dude I just realized, since I changed my diet to a healthier one, that I haven't had nearly any problem with phlegm anymore. It's crazy because It's only been two weeks, and I just forgot about it. Love your videos man they are really really helping.
-
Not sure if this works yet (will try later today) but to see this man using his education and experience to help so many random folks struggling on the internet. It’s refreshing and restoring of faith in mankind
