First you gotta get some vapor. Believe it or not this actually works!!!! Rub it on the bottoms of your feet, then put on some socks(prefferably warm) and then, if your chest hurts when you cough, rub it on there and on your back too. Then drink a cup of hot tea with some honey. Add a slice of lemon(a juicy one) mix well, drink up and enjoy your good night's rest!!!!!!
Mix dry thyme or fresh thyme leaves (you get it in any herbal store) in a cup of water and boil. Reduce it to half and drink it, good for all the ages. It should be taken just once in a day!!
Grate an onion into a bowl. Add several tablespoons of sugar. Allow to sit until a syrupy liquid forms. Drain off the syrup from the onion and drink a teaspoon (or several).
I learned this from some Bosnian friends. Works every time.
Simply apply a layer of Vics to the bottom of your feet and cover with socks, slip into bed and fall fast asleep! This works on all ages. You may need to reapply in the middle of the night, but I have yet to see this fail (and, yes, it does sound rather silly :)
I used to have bronch bad so was always searching for something beside the drug kind of relief...when it got bad I used to take a gulp of vodka and would cut the cough, but can't take that to work..so kept looking..found that taking a chicken bouillon cube and putting into a sandwich bag and breaking it into smaller pieces, that it would stop the cough for a time. Works good on my little kids...it is just letting salt coat your throat..especially good for the tickling kind...and handy to just put your hand in the baggy and get a little piece and let it melt.
Every year at the beginning of cold season I make this cough syrup. Take a jar and fill it half full with honey (I save a few extra honeybears and split it between the two) Heat the honey by putting the jars down in simmering water till the honey gets thin. Add a teaspoon of cinimon (more or less to taste) and fill jar the rest of the way with lemon. It works great, safe for all ages, and can be taken as often as needed.
To ease your coughing cut a lime in half and squezze it into a cup, then add some salt and drink it. Do this at least twice a day and your coughing shall ease
2 cups of luke warm water squeeze 1 lime into it with pulp add as much salt as you want and a teaspoon of vinegar gargle all of it for fast relief.
When ever I get a cough my mom tells me to rub vicks vaporub on my neck chest and back it helps sooth the irritation before bed.
Get about 2 table spoons of alcohol and about a teaspoon of honey take this twice a day I have tried this and this worked in 3 days! All ingredients are like a cough lozenge but more natural and better!
Warm up a cup of milk and put 1/3 tsp turmeric powder and mix it and drink it, I have been suffering for cough almost 9 days and one day I use that my cough is gone and I sleep very well, it definitely works I even did with my kids too.
If you're getting sinus or bronchitis more than you would normally, have your home checked for mold. My husband and I were sick for months with a cough and we blamed it on the seasons. On a hunch we opened the basement and ran a fan for days with the door opened. As the cellar dried up so did our cough/cold/sinus/bronchitis. It's worth a shot and in the meantime try one on these great remedies on this site..
The best way to get rid of a cough is to drink fresh carrot juice (as much as possible) and within a day or two, it should be gone.
You can buy it at your local health store or juice the carrots yourself if you have a juicer.
The problem with this, however, is it can be costly and time consuming (if you are using a juicer).
So here is another option that I do a lot (and also use it for my daughter). I use a homeopathic "cold remedy". You can buy it at your local health store or buy it online. You have to follow the instructions just like it says. Sometimes, you have to take the "pill" once every 2 hours and sometimes it will be once every 15 minutes until it subsides... and then an hour or two thereafter till it goes away.
For me, the homeopathic cold remedy works typically within 2 days... but again, you need to be religious about taking the pills.

Rub eucalyptus oil on the bottoms of your feet, then put socks over them. I had a cough for nearly a month that *nothing* would help, but this did!
I used to get bronchitis six months out of the year and it was terrible. After doing kundalini yoga breaths - long deep breaths everyday plus "breath of fire" where you focus on exhaling small spurts of breath out your nose (the inhale comes automatically), I hardly ever get coughs and if I do, they last a normal range of time (a week or 2 weeks). Others may have a different experience, but this really really helped me. It's very difficult to be around people when you're coughing every five seconds - coughers you know what I'm talking about! Thank god I found these breathing exercises.
