Mucus is a natural substance produced by your body to protect and lubricate the throat and sinuses. However, when mucus production becomes excessive, it can lead to discomfort and may signal an underlying issue. Below, we explore the most common causes of constant mucus in the throat and provide natural remedies to help alleviate the problem.
1. Acid Reflux (Silent Reflux or GLR)
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the throat due to a weakened stomach valve. While heartburn is a common symptom, some people experience only mucus buildup—a condition known as silent reflux or gastrolaryngeal reflux (GLR).
Natural Remedy:
Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water and drink it twice daily, preferably before meals. Apple cider vinegar helps strengthen the stomach valve and reduce acid reflux. If symptoms improve within a week, acid reflux may be the cause.
2. Overuse of Antacid Medication
Frequent use of antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can temporarily relieve acid reflux but may worsen the problem over time by reducing stomach acid too much.
Natural Remedy:
In addition to apple cider vinegar, consider taking betaine hydrochloride capsules (5-10 capsules) before meals. This supplement supports digestion and helps strengthen the stomach valve naturally.
3. Postnasal Drip
