10 Home Remedies For Dry Cough
Home Remedy #9: Steam
Steam inhalation is an effective home remedy for sore throats and both a wet and dry cough. The affected person inhales the moist and warm water vapor, which reduces the irritation and dryness in the airways providing a relief for a cough. Steam may also decrease blood vessel inflammation in the airways.
While it does not fight the infection, steam is an effective home remedy to provide relief throughout the progression of the disease. Steam inhalation can be performed by bending over a bowl of hot water and inhaling the steam. It can be done two to three times a day. The addition of essential oils such as rosemary or eucalyptus can also be beneficial. Using a humidifier in the room can also be helpful.
