What Causes Excessive Production Of Mucus?
I have a friend who produces alot of mucus, I dont know much about her medical history, but the amount of mucus concerns me, she is an ayvedic practitioner, and knows about health, but hasnt resolved her mucus issue, i think its food triggering her. she does suffer from adrenal fatigue.

Hi.
Read and understood your concerns.
The commonest cause of producing a lot of mucus is an allergic problem or an infective problem.
I would advise her the following:
In spite of she being an Ayurvedic Doctor, she should take a consultation of an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination, endoscopy and CT scan of the sinuses.
This will give the diagnosis and a plan for proper treatment.
