What are some home remedies for a chesty cough?

To get rid of a chesty cough: 1) drink a turmeric milk 3 times daily: boil in a cup of milk a teaspoon of turmeric powder. Sip it hot.2) Another efficient remedy is to mix 2 drops of cypress essential oil in a teaspoon of honey. Then mix it in some hot water and drink this 3 times daily.

And before going to bed, put 5 drops of cypress essential oil on your pillow.

Fill a bowl with boiling water and get your friend to lean over it with a towel his head. Inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. This is loosen the mucous in the chest and make it easier to cough out.

Also drink plenty fluid as the body needs extra fluid when it's unwell - a raised temperature causes dehydration and for a chesty cough this can cause the mucous to be more difficult to expectorate. I hope by now your friend is better - but there's such a great bunch of answers here that you'll know all there is to know for next time!

Chop up an onion and put it in a bowl. Cover it with 7 dessert spoons of brown sugar. Cover the bowl with a plate.

When all the sugar has melted into a liquid, strain it out and drink it. Put the remaining onion in a pan and fry for a bit in its own juices. Then eat the onion.

Lemon tea. Squeeze lemon juice into a cup of boiled water that has cooled a tad. Add some honey and drink up.

The lemon breaks up the congestion and the honey soothes the throat. Also garlic is a potent antibiotic. Crush a couple cloves of garlic into a spoon and add a tablespoon of honey and swallow.

Take daily even after the cold and it works wonders for the body and heart. Let me know how it works. Blessings to you and your friend.
