You mention about drinking pineapple juice in this video. How does that help with mucus? Also this has already helped me so much. Thank you for making this informative video!

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

Pineapple juice helps thin and break down mucus. I’m so happy it’s helped!!

[@victoriaoliveira1293]

​@@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth I suppose because of bromelina

My husbands pulmonologist sent me the link for this video. He was prescribed the accapella device but no one in our city has them or is able to get them. His pulmonolgist recommended that i watch this video and do the CPT for him. Thanks for posting this video as it is informative and helpful.

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

I’m happy to hear that you’ve found it helpful! I have plenty of other helpful videos if you would like to look through them. Thank you for your feedback!🫁💗

[@dawnriggs662]

Before I watched this video I had this feeling if I get massaged on my back maybe it’ll relive the cough I have and pain in my throat well I looked up back massages for a cold and this popped up Thank you This is such a Gem … definitely didn’t know pineapple helped thanks 🙏

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

You’re welcome. I’m so happy that it helped!🫁💗

I love doing tea tree oil steam therapy

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

Thanks for the input!!

[@AlaHamayel-v6d]

hank you for the infomative video, my mother (88 Years old) has cancer in the left lung side and she almost recovered from the lung cancer through bio treatment . she got injured when she felt on the ground and since 3 weeks she was not able to walk and we discovered that she has water accumulation in the lung. can we do this excercise for her.

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

It’s not recommended for people who have lung cancer.

[@thegirlwithcurls]

Such an informative video! Thank you so much for this and the helpful tips for what to do besides percussion was really great for me and my two year old toddler right now. We’re both sick but she seems to have a lot of mucus build up still. She’s 2,7years old. Can I still do this to her or should I alternate somehow? Thanks so much!

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

I’m not sure why I’m just now seeing this, but I always recommend checking with the pediatrician first. Then, as long as she tolerates it ok, it’s ok to do. I did it to my children when they were young.

[@thegirlwithcurls]

@@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth thank you so much for replying 🥰 I followed my intuition and did gentle taps on her

[@samanperera5244]

@@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth My elder sister who is also a teacher always does this on her son. I think her percussions are painful and wrong(You know lady teachers know how to hit😂). She does this with her flat palm. Just like slapping. I showed this video to her. Now she uses her cup palm and hitting nicely.

My mom is 61 her Ct scan shows "Fibrotic Scarring, Bronchiectasis, and Calcific Changes" few months back she had brain stroke infant can i do this excercise.. please reply

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

As long as you start off light and only increase to her toleration, it should be ok to do.

[@billkilpatrick]

Thank you - very useful. Couples following this procedure would be advised, however, to not do so in the presence of the family dogs as our two Maremma shepherd dogs were really very, very concerned to see me getting a thorough thumping from my darling wife.

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

Oh no!😂 Now that you mention it, I could see that being an issue!!

[@urvikothari2684]

Hey can i do it on my seven year old son who has dry cough all the time…and if he cant cough up the mucus what other way can he do to remove the mucus…can he blow his nose to remove mucus?

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

Yes, you can. If it’s a dry cough, he may not have any mucus to cough up though. Here’s another method to help with mucus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bF6yh4Z3q8qIl8ksi=m7OBjU-lFcFNzn7v

[@ioanacotovelea8739]

Hello, It is allowed this procedure for a 5 years old boy who has allergic bronchial asthma? Thank you.

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

As long he tolerates it ok, then it’s safe!

[@MisraBorn]

Hello I’m watching because my 4yr old has congestion. Can I try this on him? And would do it this same way? Or is it different for younger children?

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

I always recommend asking your pediatrician first. I can say that I did the same on my children.

[@laurel1854]

how do we notice in which part is the mucus? thanks!

[@BreatheBetterwithElizabeth]

You can try putting your hand over your chest and take slow deep breaths to feel the vibration. Depending on how much mucus you have , you may not be able to tell. In that case, it’s safe to percuss over both of your lungs.
