I too have lung problems, asthma, etc. One lung doctor said that I had COPD, (the word scares me to death) I find that I have a build up of mucus mostly in the winter. I've been taking CS to keep the infection going from my throat to my lungs and so far that has worked. But I'm wondering now if I shouldn't try the fenugreek herb -----thanks for the tip.

A steam humidifier will distill the CS out ,which is not the way to go.A cool mist ultrasonic,nebulizer type is what is needed. I have a weakness in my lungs which over-produces mucous.This can and did lead to a build-up in them.This led to Bronchial pneumonia and the inevitable ABX,with all the attendant problems. Using the above type humidifier with CS/EIS did stop that go 'round very successfully. I later learned that Fenugreek was very good at reducing the production of mucous.This was through finding that my situation was related to Cystic Fibrosis in which Fenugreek now plays a beneficial role. Since incorporating the herb,as a capsule, in my regimen,it has been a very long time since I've had to resort to the humidifier. Harold
