Remedies for Coughs
A cough is the body's response to inflammation or irritation in the throat, larynx, bronchial tubes or lungs. There are two basic kinds of coughs, congested and dry, with each one having different underlying causes.

Ways to relieve Coughs
- Put a few drops of the oil of eucalyptus in a vaporizer and breathe in the steam. The moist air will soothe the airways and loosen sinus congestion and phlegm in your throat and lungs.
- Place hot packs on your chest and throat this is can be very soothing.
- Raise your head in bed by placing firm pillows under head. This will allow mucus to drain easier.
- Always drink alot of water for better health.
- Dairy products, fried foods and meat promote mucus build-up so avoid these products.
- To open and moisten the airways drink hot tea. (I like to add a little honey).
- To help loosen mucus try eating spicy foods.
- Don't use over the counter cough medicines because they suppress symptoms. The purpose of coughing is to eliminate congestion and taking suppressants defeats the purpose.
- If you smoke, STOP, for obvious reasons.
