Coughing Remedies

You could, of course, reach for some over the counter cough medicine, but you may want to try the following home remedies that have worked for hundreds of people.  They cured their cough the natural way.  Try them for yourself.

• Grapes are one of the most effective home remedies for the treatment of a cough. Grapes help the lungs and act as an expectorant, relieving a cough in just a few short days.  A cup of grape juice mixed with a teaspoon of honey is also great for a cough.

• Raw onions are also effective in curing a cough.  The onion should be chopped fine and the juice extracted from it.  Mix one teaspoon of onion juice with one teaspoon of honey and keep for four hours.  It acts as a cough syrup and can be taken twice per day. 

• Almonds are useful for dry coughs. Seven kernels should be soaked in water overnight and the brown skin removed. They should then be ground well to form a fine paste. A quantity of twenty grams each of butter and sugar should then be added to the paste. This paste should be taken in the morning and evening.
