How to Use Digestive Enzymes to Cure Excess Mucus

Mucus is a protein made by the body found in the intestines or sinuses. Excess mucus results in clogged sinuses or nutrients unable to move efficiently through the digestive tract. This is hazardous as certain infections or parasites can live in this coating of mucus. Luckily, as a result of the fact that mucus is a protein, you can remove excess mucus from the body by taking a protein-digesting enzyme, which will break down and liquefy excess mucus in the body.

Instructions

1. Consider taking bromelain. Bromelain is a digestive enzyme taken from raw pineapple which disintegrates protein. It reduces cough and nasal mucus from causes such as sinusitis. As an added benefit, it also has very strong anti-inflammatory properties. Look for it online as it's sometimes hard to find in stores.

2. Take protease capsules. Protease is an enzyme that breaks down the peptide bonds of proteins, which are hard to digest. It prevents these proteins from traveling to unwanted places like the circulatory system and restores energy and balance.

3. Make yourself dairy-free meals as dairy can increase or aggravate the amount of mucus in your body. Take two capsules of bromelain or protease with each meal and a full glass of water. Each capsule should contain 500 milligrams of each enzyme.

Tips & Warnings

• Raw pineapple does not provide sufficient amounts of the digestive enzyme to provide anything other than a negligible difference in mucus.
