Top 10 Home Remedies for Cough

Steaming

Asides from having a hot shower to treat cough, making a steam bowl is also an effective way to cure cough. How do you go about this? Just fill a big bowl with hot water, throw in herbs like peppermint or essential oils like eucalyptus and stir. Then lean over the bowl and drape a thick cloth over your head to trap the steam. Maintain this position as long as you can and try as much as possible to inhale the vapor. The steam from the water will help thin the accumulated mucus and also soothe your airways. If the water seems too hot and is burning your skin, discontinue this process until the water cools a little, then try again. The steam bowl method can be done once a day.
