🍵 Natural Lung-Clearing Remedy
“Clear Your Lungs and Stop Coughing in 3 Days”
✅ Introduction
Persistent coughing and chest congestion can be signs of respiratory irritation, often triggered by colds, flu, smoking, or pollution. While medications are effective, nature also offers powerful remedies. This recipe is a time-tested, natural solution used in many cultures to cleanse the lungs and soothe the respiratory tract — especially during cold seasons or after quitting smoking.
