Honey And Onions: An Effective Treatment For Cough

Coughing can be dry or mucous. Short-term mucous cough should not be a concern, as the cough usually occurs with the flu or other inflammation, and coughing is the body’s way of getting rid of mucus in the lungs. A dry cough, on the other hand, is not caused by the accumulation of mucus, but can be a sign of irritation or inflammation that needs to be treated before it becomes a chronic ailment.

Many rely on cough medicines and other medications to treat and control cough. However, excessive use of cough syrups and other medications can cause nasty health symptoms, and we recommend that you turn to natural remedies for cough treatment. A mucous cough often heals on its own when the inflammation subsides, but a long-lasting and severe cough requires treatment.

Natural cough suppressants relieve cough and soothe the lungs, removing mucus and relieving irritation. These ingredients have an antibiotic effect that eliminates inflammatory bacteria and viruses. In this article, we share a guide to an effective cough medicine made from onion and honey.
