Natural Remedies For Coughs And Congestion

Natural Remedies For Coughs And Congestion

The above video gives tips for natural approaches to treating coughs and congestion.  Although this segment is primarily directed at providing suggestions for treating children, the remedies mentioned are effective for adults as well.

Parents don’t need to worry about the recommendation against using cough medicine to treat coughs in young children since there are natural substances like honey and dark chocolate that are shown  to be more effective than the medications but don’t have the side-effects.

By the way, if you do decide to try valerian root and you open the bottle the first time and wonder – yes,  it’s supposed to smell bad (you didn’t just get a bottle that spoiled!). 

Also, although it is mentioned in the video, it bears repeating here – honey should not be given to children under the age of 1 year.
