Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Grapes, particularly grape juice and extracts, have been traditionally used in some cultures as a home remedy for respiratory ailments, including lung congestion. The use is rooted mainly in folk medicine, especially within Ayurveda and some traditional European practices, where grapes are considered to possess demulcent (soothing) and expectorant properties. These traditions suggest that grapes can help thin mucus, ease coughing, and support overall respiratory health. The likely rationale is the high water content, natural sugars, and presence of certain antioxidants (such as resveratrol and flavonoids) in grapes, which are thought to provide a soothing effect on irritated mucous membranes.

However, scientific validation for grapes specifically alleviating lung congestion is limited. While some studies highlight the general health benefits of grape polyphenols for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory effects, direct evidence supporting their use as a treatment for lung congestion is lacking. No clinical trials conclusively demonstrate that eating grapes or drinking grape juice can relieve chest congestion or clear the lungs. Therefore, the traditional use persists more as a supportive measure within holistic or home-based care rather than as a practice endorsed by strong scientific evidence.

In summary, grapes are mentioned in traditional remedies for lung congestion, but this use is supported only by anecdotal evidence and historical practice, not by modern clinical research.
