10 Home Remedies For a Cough
Home Remedy #7: Steam
Steam inhalation is one of the most commonly used home remedies for colds, coughs, and sinus infections. Also known as steam therapy, the affected individual inhales warm and moist water vapor that helps to loosen the mucus in the airways. It can also help relieve the inflammation of blood vessels in the nasal passages.
Although it does not help to fight off the infection, it can help relieve the symptoms while the body tries to fight off the infection. Steam inhalation can be performed two to three times a day for 10 to 15 minutes per session. Adding essential oils such as eucalyptus or rosemary can also be beneficial.
