Today, we’re going to take a look at how salt can effectively get rid of bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mold in the body. Salt causes water to move out of the cell, eliminating these pathogens through dehydration.
Salt thins mucus with this same mechanism. Salt removes water from the mucus, making it thinner so that it can be more easily expelled from the body.
To eliminate mucus using salt, dissolve a teaspoon of sea salt (not table salt) in a glass of water. Drink or gargle the salt water. This exposes the mouth and throat to salt, which helps to get rid of mucus, improves immunity, and strengthens the autonomic nervous system.
You can also use diluted apple cider vinegar. This changes the pH and helps kill microbes.
A Neti pot uses nasal irrigation to gently send a stream of diluted salt water through your sinuses, helping to thin the mucus. If you have a constant post-nasal drip, you may have a fungal infection or mold issue going on in your sinuses, and cutting sugar from your diet may help.
You can also use a humidifier with a saltwater solution while you sleep. A humidifier turns liquid into vapor, allowing you to inhale the salt water. Halotherapy, or salt therapy, can also be beneficial.
If none of these remedies seem to be working, an ear infection could be the source of your mucus. In this case, try putting four to five drops of saltwater directly into each ear. You can try the same thing with diluted apple cider vinegar or use one drop of garlic oil in each ear.
Vitamin D supports your immune system and helps prevent mucus. Vitamin D deficiencies are associated with enlarged tonsils, sinus allergies, sinus mucus, and ear infections. Try taking 20,000 to 50,000 IU of vitamin D once per week to address mucus.

Not to be mistaken for drug withdrawal symptoms! Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! Have a wonderful day! 💪
😂
Snort a big ol line of salt for thr withdrawal mucus
Dr. Berg, should the sesame and flax seeds be soaked from night to morning and dried over low heat, or should the sesame seeds be lightly roasted without soaking to get rid of the phytic acid, or is it not necessary?❤
I used to always have throat mucus pretty much my entire life. I would drive my wife crazy by constantly clearing my throat. I noticed it would get worse after eating grains. These days I eat close to zero grains and never have throat mucus problems anymore.
What kind of grains did you use to eat?
@@0208kikiscocaine
Same for me.
Grains can carry mold. But heat processing would kill it.
@@0208kikis I would normally buy some type of whole wheat bread or buns for sandwiches and burgers. The only bread/flour type product I eat now is pizza crust occasionally.
Hey Dr. Berg, I’ve been listening to your research well over a year now and applying healthier eating habits and taking care of me a lot better.
But it has me wondering, I grew up on sugar and grains and by the time I was in my early 20’s it was discovered threw x-rays by the medical field that I had degenerative bone disease in my neck. In fact I was told by the time I was in my early 30’s I had the neck bones of an 80 year old.
I’ve have a neck and lower back full of metal plates, bars and screws. I can’t help but think that all those years of eating huge amounts of sugar and grains that are the culprit of my generative bone disease.
Could it be possible the huge amounts of sugar and grains I consumed all my life depleted my body of the proper nutrients I needed to build healthy bones?
Degenerative bone disease seems to becoming more popular and even in younger people now!
@kt6332 si ya estabas con esa dificultad y cometiste el error de aplicarte el suero muy recomendado casi de carácter obligatorio, con ello sólo se pudo agravar porque eso fue un producto diseñado para uso militar y de control, sino busca información en Epochs Times y escucha qué dice RFK JR al respecto 🤗
That’s a no brainer. Yes, huge contributor. You weren’t getting the proper building blocks thru nutrition in your diet. No meat/amino acids
I have arthritis problems now which is probably due to eating way too much sugar and grains growing up also.
“1 teaspoon per glass” what size of glass? 8oz? 12 oz? Different types of salt will have a different weight per volume. A gram measurement of salt would be better.
@@michaelcohen2760probably 6 to 8 ounces.
Love how Dr. Berg is getting creative with his videos 😅👏🏻
I always had swollen glands as a kid and my parents would take me to the Dr for antibiotics. Now as an adult I use my neti pot every day and cut out the dairy. Thank you for teaching us how to be healthy without using drugs.
Thanks Dr. Berg. I’ve had the worst case of stuffed sinuses over the last 3 days and have tried everything. This actually gave me instant relief though my ear needs a little more. Again, many thanks!
A covid test might help in your diagnosis. My stuffed and runny nose was my first symptoms.
Don’t need a TEST to say you have a COLD!@@lindaali6703

Hey Doc, I’ve let a pretty healthy life as far as diet. Living in Spain for 12 years however a few months before covid hit I started getting mucus in the mid throat area and only noticed this when laying down before bed and waking up. It has got significantly worse over the years. Other doctors gave over the counter medicine to loosen it but no luck , when I try to cough something up its like glue. and wont dislodge. Could it be something more series?
i get that too, i’m an ex-smoker and in fact right before seeing this video i had a tiny piece glued to my voicebox making me sound hoarse, so i just had a good bowl of salty chicken soup and now it’s cleared up and i can speak normal again or until the next time lol.
Try mullein if nothing else works. I have smoked for 25 years ciggs and bongs and i now breathe like i did before smoking. It is sold in an extract you put in water, and it makes everything come out very very easily with just a light cough or clearing of the throat even.

Recapped using Tammy AI
Wasn’t just gargling, was drinking the solution.
Awesome…thx
How do you use tammy ai?
“and shaking it out” ?
I thank God for Hais caring and generosity in you 😊❤
Thanks so much for this information, Dr Berg. That’s what I did when my long covid symptoms started by gathering information from your videos. I tackled a sinus ear infection with rock sea salt solution nasal rinses, diluted ACV ear drops and also a ginger, garlic, rock sea salt infusion in a boiling pan and took inhalations covered by a hand towel, it helped a lot to clear all out. All your educational content is priceless. Thank you 🙏🏻💕
Wow, I was just searching for help with getting rid of constant phlegm, perfect timing! Thank you Dr Berg 👏🏽👏🏽
You are so welcome!
There is another natural alternative as well. It works AMAZING not just ok. The plant mullein is what i use. I buy an extract from St.Francis herb farms. It keeps the sinus working properly and makes it very very easy to expectorate (cough out) phlegm in your lungs with a light cough or two or even a light clearing of the throat. I breathe like im 14 again
Dr. Berg, you are a God send for people’s ailments. Thank you for all the hard work you do in making these teaching videos. I enjoy you so much.❤
Very timely advice, Dr. Berg. Common sense advice and no prescription required. Thank you.
Note: No more GERD and acid reflux issues since we both went on keto!
Along with this remedy, limiting or omitting dairy will also help. Especially for those that suffer with any sinus issue. Thank you so much for your knowledge and being such a blessing to us all, Dr. Berg ❤
Dairy was the number one thing causing my sinus issues and it took me years to realize it
Most people I know develop stomach issues after cutting dairy completely. We need the probiotics from dairy.
I had sinus issues all my life, & consumed a lot of daury. Since goung liw carb, the sinys ussues have resolved. I still consume a lot of dairy, as yoghurt & cheese, but I have switched to cold pressed ray Jersey milk for my morning iced milk coffee.
My usual go-to treatment for throat mucous has always been salt. Functions like a charm!
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos.. I respect this man immensely. 👍🙏
Dr Berg is a blessing to mankind.
I started taking salt lately as a pre-workout which helps alot, but i also noticed that alot of mucus coming out from my chest area and suddendly i can breathe alot better. Thanks Dr Berg!
Thank you Dr Berg for your hard work and all your efforts to inform the world about health and staying healthy.👍👍👍
Thank you, Dr. Berg ❤ I’m battling this very thing with constant clearing my throat, pressure in 1 ear, and then bam today, a winter storm brought on my allergies. I had covid in November, and I’m just a mess. Thank you again, sir. I’m trying your advice on several things tomorrow.
If it doesn’t work try mullein extract in water. Works absolutely amazing for me. For ear sinus and lung. Tastes ok as well, slightly flowery.
