Mucus [mucous] Colors and What They Mean

It is interesting to me that the nature of the mucus, whether green, brown or clear, is not a reflection of a certain type of infection, as we are taught, but actually tells us about the nature of that which we are flushing out.

• Green mucus - If it is toxic chemicals, the mucus is "nasty" or green.



• Clear mucus - If your body is flushing out more harmless stuff like pollen or cat hair, then the mucus is clear.
