Ever wondered what is causing your excess mucus that disturbs you in your throat? Click to read.
WHAT IS PHLEGM ?
Phlegm is a sticky substance, containing the chemical parts such as salts, electrolytes, along with the virus and bacteria fighting agents. It is secreted by the mucous membrane of the Respiratory Tract .
Its sticky manner helps it to hang on, trap and then ultimately destroy the unwanted pathogens. Then, it detaches itself and moves towards the throat region.
Some mostly swallow it the moment they feel it coming upwards towards the mouth.
IT IS WRONG!
DO NOT SWALLOW the Phlegm, as this Phlegm is loaded with dead bacteria, germs, that is the disease causing organisms that the body has gathered to push out with the mucus.
That is one of the reasons why after breathing in lots of dust, we have excess mucus (cattarh) or a runny nose soon after. It is the bodies natural way of gathering the harmful particles inhaled with the dust to be taken back out.
Phlegm is actually beneficial to you.
Presence of Phlegm is not a disease condition, but can be a sign of a condition.
Phlegm is as normal as blood and is a required substance by mucous membrane for the lubricating and filtering purposes :
It provides aid to the Immune System when it gets overloaded and helps clean up germs.
It destroys foreign bodies entering the body by trapping the germs.
