Cough Remedy
« on: December 29, 2014, 09:46:47 pm »
I had trouble falling asleep last night.  I was coughing and coughing.  I took an over the counter medicine for my cough but that didn't seem to help.  I have always heard that honey is good for a cough.  So I got out of bed, took 2 teaspoons of honey and went back to bed.  It did help as my coughing stopped and I was able to finally fall asleep.  Sometimes home remedies are better than modern medicine.

Someone at work told me a home remedy for coughs. I have never tried it and it sounds crazy but I looked it up online and some people swear by it. They put Vicks Vapor rub on there feet. Any one ever heard of that?  Like I said I know it sounds crazy but a lot of people seem to do it. Lol.

a cup of tea mixed with lemon and honey.  it is a great way to soothe a sore throat and to help calm the coughing.

   Avoid throat irritants. Use some cough drops.

honey and lemon is a good remedy for cough.  also if you have a local honey that's even better.

I've used the Vicks on feet for nighttime coughing a few times & it worked!!  I also like warming a metal spoon in hot water & then pouring raw honey (Ambosia brand from Walmart) onto the spoon for a minute (it warms the honey without destroying nutrients).  It's really soothing for a sore throat too.

IT sounds healthy
Opinion: 1) a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter 2) belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
This is the internet, learn to let people have opinions. And don't be so sensitive.  8)

If I called the doctor every time I began to cough I'd be on the phone constantly with him. I can 't be running to him everytime I have an asthma attack. I just self medicate my self with what ever will work.
