Expectorants, mucokinetic
The action of spices which makes your eyes water, is the same action on phlegms and mucus at the respiratory system. The spicy food triggers the vagus nerve to release a flash flood of watery fluids that thins the thick mucus, and eventually allows the rt cilia to drive them out.
Alliin in Garlic
Dr. Ziment's fav for respiratory medication is garlic which contains alliin (the major flavor in garlic) which is very similar to Mucodyne ( S. carboxymethylcysteine) a mucus regulating drug in Europe. (carboceistene) Combined with Vit C, alliin is broken down to a compound that is very close to mucodyne.
Mustard contains allyl isothiocyanate, a compound similar to alliin. Mustard is a traditional expectorant.
Carbocistine- mucolytic expectorant
Dr. Ziment recommends that garlic be zapped in a microwave to preserve alliin, before using or adding this to the food. Crushing the garlic converts alliin to allicin which has other use
