Step 1
Lemon and honey has been used as a natural remedy for coughing for a long time. Try mixing a spoonful of honey (raw honey is better) with the juice squeezed from a lemon. Drink it whenever you need it.
-
Step 2
Try using a cough suppressant vapor rub on your chest. These vapor rubs usually contain ingredients such as camphor, eucalyptus oil, and menthol oil. These ingredients help suppress coughing. A cough suppressing vapor rub is especially nice when you need instant relief from a painful or persistent cough.

Step 3
Drink more water. Water cleanses and does so many other good things for us that it would be crazy to leave drinking more water out of any guide to overcoming an ailment.
-
Step 4
Try inhaling steam. Fill a basin with hot water and add 3 drops of essential oil. A good essential oil to use would include; peppermint, eucalyptus, sage, or hyssop.
-
Step 5
Drink an herbal tea. Good teas to try would be Echinacea, Mullein, Coltsfoot, Licorice, Thyme, Elecampane, Horehound, Hyssop, Plantain, Red Clover, and Wild Cherry Bark. The list could go on, but any one of the above herbs would be a good place to start.

on 7/6/2009 Your warning at the end of the article is very important. My brother found out his chronic cough was from a leaky heart valve that caused his lungs to fill with fluid.
