Clearing your lungs of phlegm and fluids will speed your recovery from respiratory infections and illnesses.  Start with an eucalyptus rub on your back.  Lots of lotions contain eucalyptus, or you can add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to regular hand lotion and use that.  Inhaling steam also helps to loosen whatever is stuck in the chest.  A few drops of pine, lavender, or ginger in the steam water will help even more.

Crush some dry mustard and mix it with just enough water to make a paste.  This concoction spread on a cloth and resting on the chest will also help loosen your lungs and chest.  Try this remedy right before bed and again first thing in the morning.
