What is Chest Congestion: Chest tightness is caused by mucus which is also known as cough and mucus. The problem of chest congestion usually occurs when, due to any reason, excess phlegm starts to build up in the body. Usually, there is a problem of chest congestion due to cold and running nose or there is an infection in the respiratory system.
According to Ayurveda, Kapha is one of the main elements of our body. Vata, Pitta and Kapha are the three doshas of the body in Ayurveda. As long as these are balanced, the person remains healthy. But as soon as any one of these is disturbed, then some disease surrounds the body i.e. disease occurs.

What is the treatment for chest congestion?
- You must consult a doctor for the treatment of chest congestion. Usually during this time people voluntarily or at the behest of someone start taking antibiotics and along with adopting some home remedies. Doing this can give some relief, but it is necessary to treat it properly so that the phlegm accumulated in the lungs does not create any new problem later.
- The second thing is that antibiotics only affect the bacterial infection, not the phlegm that is accumulating in the lungs. Because this problem is caused by virus not due to bacteria. Therefore, take medicines only after proper examination and take medicines only after consulting a doctor.
