If you’re referring to a two-ingredient home remedy for mucus, be cautious with claims that a recipe can “clear your throat and lungs.” No simple recipe can literally cleanse the lungs.
A gentle option for temporary throat comfort is:
Warm water + honey — mix 1–2 teaspoons of honey into a cup of warm water and sip slowly.
Honey may soothe an irritated throat and reduce coughing, but it doesn’t remove mucus from the lungs.
For mucus, drinking enough fluids can help keep secretions thinner, while humidified air may make them easier to cough up.
Do not give honey to children under 1 year old. If mucus comes with difficulty breathing, chest pain, coughing up blood, or symptoms that are getting worse, seek medical care.
