What is causing my phelgm/mucus?

Mucus is normal and forms a lining inside our lungs in a healthy person and helps us keeping our lungs from drying out and it also forms a barrier against bacteria and viruses.
All healthy bodies require mucus in lungs and other parts of our bodies but too much of it can lead to uncomfortable symptoms.
Here are only some of the causes of phlegm / extra mucus.
1. Allergies (Hay fever, Asthma, Food Allergies etc )
2. Colds / Flu’s
3. Tobacco ( smoke )
4. Lung disease e.g. infections such as pneumonia
5. Lung Cancer
6. Hiatus Hernia
7. Acid Reflux
8. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
9. Cystic Fibrosis etc etc...
Always consult your Doctor to rule out any serious illness. Once the cause is identified, complementary therapies can help a lot. Dr Bhatti has been treating allergies / intolerances for the last 30 years.
