Natural Cough Remedy - Allergy Cough
Good (early) morning,
I woke to the dog getting into something in the kitchen. Man, that dog has reach! Anyways, that put away and dog scolded, I tried to go back to bed. My allergies have been bad, and, by the way, I'm allergic to dogs. I have an afghan and a lab mix, and the lab mix is the one that really gets me with his type of coat that sheds so much. I never knew my allergy was as bad as it was until we got him. Giving him up is not an option. You don't do that to family. So it was up to me to deal with the allergy.
On occasion, if its really bad, I will use a stronger OTC (over the counter) medicine to help out. Otherwise, I try to stick to natural solutions as much as possible.
Tonight's attack on my system included a nasty cough that would not go away. So here I am at 2 in the morning. I put a breathing mix of therapeutic grade essential oils on my chest (vicks would work as well), I have a breathing/night tea to help calm the symptoms and get me back to bed, and I made a cough syrup to help ease the cough and congestion starting up in my chest.
I found this on YouTube: Mix 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (I use Braggs), and 1/2 teaspoon raw honey, mix and swallow. You may have to do this once again before bed. I took this and the taste was actually pretty good, and worked pretty much immediately.
This stuff worked so well, and so quickly that it inspired me to post this before I head off to bed so I can be nice and rested for the tedium of daily life tomorrow (today).
Yes, surprise, surprise....I found this on YouTube.... I'm such a YouTube whore. But you know what? It helps.
