Cough with mucus / wet cough Ayurvedic PerspectivesWrite a review!
Written by John Joseph Immel, Asheville, NC
Mucus is generally a sign of "sweet blood". Blood that is high in sugar, fats, or proteins is sweet blood. Sweet blood is thicker than dry blood and causes mucus. Sweet blood causes thick mucus while toxicity generally creates thin, clear mucus.

Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Cough with mucus / wet cough' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

Aggravated Doshas & Qualities

Symptoms Tell A Story

The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms. Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances, showing you where your body is weak. Specifically, they reveal the doshas & qualities that may have become aggravated. If you notice a quality or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

Cough with mucus / wet cough indicates one or more of the following doshas and qualities are imbalanced:
