Bromelain
Bromelain is another natural home remedy for chest congestion. Although it isn’t a popular home remedy, some evidence suggests that the enzyme bromelain, which is exclusively present in pineapple stems and fruit, may help reduce coughing and release throat mucus. The treatment of edema and inflammation is another application for bromelain.
Bromelain, a combination of enzymes derived from pineapple juice, has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It is thought that bromelain can help treat respiratory problems brought on by allergies and asthma. In addition, it has mucolytic properties that help break down and eliminate mucus.
Eat a pineapple slice or consume 3.5 ounces of fresh pineapple juice three times a day to get the most benefits from pineapple and bromelain. There are also suggestions that it helps ease sinusitis and allergy-related sinus problems, which can worsen coughing and mucus production. To support this, nevertheless, there is insufficient evidence. Depending on the reason for the chest congestion, different medications and conventional therapies may be more successful than pineapple juice as a relief.
