Enema recipe for curing phlegm in throat.

For the longest time, I've been dealing with almost constant yellow tinged phlegm, the consistency of jelly in my throat.

I eat healthy, drink lots of fluids, humidify my home, etc.

Medical inhaler only helps temporally, so I'd like to try a series of coffee enemas.

Any suggestions about this?

See a doctor ...... really.

I agree: it’s time to see a physician.

Filler up and find out!

You can try coffee enemas, but they probably aren't going to do anything. If you can figure out where it is coming from - you can have sinus drainage that gets coughed back up, or it can come from the bronchi. Then go see a doctor.

I suffer from sinus drainage. I have had sinus surgery twice. The last time it was endoscopy surgery. The physician cleaned out my six sinus cavities.

Believe me an enema is not going to help. You might try a nettle pot or Naväge. If you are continue to have constant phlegm I would suggest you consult an ENT (otolaryngologist) as soon as possible.

See a doctor, could easily be an infection.

I wake up from sleeping, i cough ip some phlegm. I have allergies, don't see where coffee enemas will help, I do them ofter and I enjoy them, but will still have phlegm. Enjoy your coffee, I do.

You can do the enemas but it won’t help. You should go to the dr, could have bronchitis, pneumonia, or cold.please go get checked. You need abx and a chest xray

Going in the wrong orifice 🤣

It sounds like you don’t have any other physical aliments. Maybe this will help. have had similar issues at times. I am extremely sensitive to a lot of different pollen’s, household dust, assorted animals and even to some cologne that people splashed all over themselves. I have seen a doctor in the past and he prescribed me steroids for a short time to help desensitize me so I could start feeling like a normal human again, but it is a temporary fix. He stopped giving me steroids because I had used them to many times over the years. The phlegm in your throat maybe from your sinuses draining and you may have a slight sinus infection and a doctor will have to prescribe you some antibiotics , that’s happened to me also. A coffee enema can help detoxify your body so it will cause no harm. I also use essential oils like orange, grapefruit, frankincense and myrrh in enemas. They also are very effective for temporarily clearing upper respiratory infections until your own immune system becomes stronger, for me they are a very good enema maintenance routine. If you drink strong black coffee try adding some ceylon cinnamon to the top of cup and drink it, it seems to help also. The caffeine and cinnamon seems to have a good effect on everything.

Definitely seek out a medical professional.

Agree with others. See a doc. I have over acted sinus’s, and cough up clear snot that’s drained over night. But if it was ever colored, I’d call my doc immediately.

@Silver_Bullet: Coffee enemas do not “detoxify your body”. This myth has been debunked repeatedly. Likewise, essential oils and/or coffee enemas do not “temporarily clear upper respiratory infections”. I am respectfully asking you to not make medical claims that I, as a physician, know are wholly untrue. Enough misinformation is being maliciously spread these days in the United States. We do not need additional misinformation here on Zity.

Amen, Iris.

One thing you can try at home to help with phlegm from sinus drainage is using a neti pot to drain your sinuses. You make a warm-water saline solution*, bend forward, and pour it in one nostril, then the other. Unless your nose is completely clogged shut, it reaches the sinuses and can flush out mucus when you are upright again. The pot is good for three fills per nostril for me. I usually do it in the shower. Some people prefer using distilled water for this, but I figure if it's safe to drink, it's all right for this purpose.

*The neti pot usually comes with little packets of saline mixture, and you can buy more, but I make my own, a fifty-fifty mix of baking soda and sea salt, 1/3 tsp. to 8 ounces of water.

Amen, Iris.

Also agree with @Iris1858 !

@PinotNoir I tried the Neti-pot (my doctor recommended I give it a try), or more accurately the “nose enema” and absolutely hated it. I’ll stick with other remedies to clear my sinuses. None work well, but for me, the neti pot cure was worse than the bite.

I too have had this problem for ages. I think it stems from sinus damage due to having broken my nose several times. I have had postnasal drip for as long as I can remember. I also have emphysema/copd, which probably contributes to it. I have mentioned it to my doc but he doesn't seem unduly worried.

It doesn't bother me too much but I might try the netti pot and see if that makes a difference.

The trick to the neti pot is that you breathe through your open mouth the entire time. Some people report it feels like they're drowning, but there is nothing at all stopping you from breathing.

Meanwhile, I'm sorry to learn I'm not the only person with sinus issues. I've had sinus surgery once and broken my nose once, but clearly it's a lifelong inherited thing. (I once found my father at the airport, waiting at the wrong gate, by the sound of him blowing his nose.)

Maybe I tried to snort the water through! Do you think putting coffee in the neti-pot would help (joke)!

I also have had a broken nose and a deviated septum, Most of my congestion comes thrugh my left nostril. Pressuer on my left eye etc. Never had it checked or considered surgery, not bad enough so I just live with it.
