Three Home Remedies For A Dry Cough

When we talk about a dry cough, we mean a cough without phlegm. It is a reaction that occurs when the body detects a foreign element in the throat or airways. The cough thus acts as a cleaning mechanism for the area.

To get rid of a dry cough, we need to help our body cleanse the area.

To do this, we want to show you several efficient home remedies that are not aggressive: the solution is to solve one problem without creating another problem. And to do that, natural home remedies are the best option.

If you still don’t know the cause of your dry cough despite going to the doctor, try to find out if there is an emotional factor that could be influencing it. Some people express situations in the form of somatic symptoms such as a dry cough.

If so, these cough drops will be helpful, but you should also look for other solutions such as psychotherapy or yoga.

If you think your case is somatic, we recommend the classic ‘warm milk with honey’. In addition to soothing the throat, it will help you rest better.

3. Cayenne pepper, ginger and apple cider vinegar

In other articles, we’ve talked about apple cider vinegar’s ability to eliminate infections. The same goes for cayenne pepper. Spicy foods are very effective against infections. So we propose this special cough syrup.

Ingredients

• 1.5 grams of cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
• 1 tablespoon honey (1o ml)

Every body is different. Even if we have the same problem, your body reacts differently. Therefore, it is worth trying different options over a period of several days. This allows you to find the cough medicine that is best for you and you can get the best out of the ingredients.
