Essential Oils
Putting some types of essential oils in steam would provide many relieving effects for your dry cough. Try eucalyptus oil and tea tree oil, both of them are proved to alleviate the airways and keep nasal passages open. Also, they are rich in anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral components that help fight against viruses and bacteria. All you need to do is to pour boil water into a large bowl. Wait a few minutes and add a few drops of essential oils. Stir thoroughly and breathe in the steam with a towel on your head. Breathe deeply in 5 to 10 minutes. [13]
