There are many types of coughs, some which be accompanied by a cough. Cough can be from a chemical irritation or from an infection. Today we musty check for influenza or COVID 19 if you have a cough. You should drink plenty of fluids and get bed rest if you have a cough. There are many ways to treat a cough. Over the years I have NOT written a prescription for a cough suppressant. There are many different herbal remedies. A lot of individuals use elderberry.
If a child is suffering from a cough you can use elderberry, echinacea and even thyme. If the cough has phlegm I tend to use herbs that are expectorants as comfrey and coltsfoot. Some herbalists stay aware from comfrey but I find it very useful. I tend to use 10 drops of each and mix with warmed honey from my bees and give a teaspoon. I found these very useful for my own children . If the mucous or phlegm is thick i tend to use ginger, fennel and thyme.
As a child my mother used a vaporizer with Vick’s vapor rub. In a way this way aromatherapy. In an atomizer I use eucalyptus and sandalwood This is my version of aromatherapy.
The Bible herb, Myrrh can be massaged into the chest I find these herbs to be very useful
Until tomorrow…
