How does drinking tea or any other liquid help clear your lungs?

I’ve always seen people saying “if you have built up mucus in your lungs then drink this or that” but I never really understood that how can a liquid that goes down your throat help to clean/fix/heal your lungs?

and i’m not only referring to mucus that was just an example

So you’re supposed to breath the hot steam in which might help thin out sticky mucus so your body can remove it more easily, and in general being hydrated also helps keep mucus thin. It’s not really going to “heal” anything but it might make symptoms a bit better while they heal themselves.
