Do you have a nagging cough that just won’t go away? There are some simple and natural solutions that work better than those over the counter remedies and they’ll cost you a lot less.
Who hasn’t had a cough at one time or another especially during cold season. While most coughs are nothing serious they can be extremely irritating, not only for you but the people around you.
Did you know that consumers spend billions, yes I said billions, every year on over the counter (OTC) cough medicines trying to find some relief. What makes this number so shocking is the studies that have been done on them. These studies found no evidence that OTC medicines help with coughs caused by virus’.
With that being said why would you waste your money on OTC medicines, when you can definitely find some relief with one of more of these home remedies for coughs at a fraction of the price.
COUGH REMEDIES
When I was doing research for this post I was really shocked when I learned that there was no evidence that prove that the OTC medicines worked. When I think of all of the money that I’ve wasted on them over the years I could just kick myself. However, I was surprised to learn that all the years that I complained about mom rubbing Vick’s on my feet before bed has shown to work. I guess mom does know best.

Perfect timing for me and this post. If my husband does not stop coughing…we are all going to go crazy!:) Thanks for so many tips and suggestions!
My favorite, the one that always works for me, is where you slather vaporub on feet before going to bed. It has never failed me.
These home remedies for cough are quite helpful tried drinking hot water sometime last year and it worked like magic
