Amazing-healthy-tips-to-remove-Cough-and-Cold-permanently

 Hello..! Are you suffering from cough and cold? If, yes then you came in right place. The common cold is almost always accompanied by a cough and can be quite an irritating condition to deal with it. While, medication can help you to reduce the symptoms you experience, a cold has no cure and it takes about seven days to resolve. So, instead of loading your body with all those chemicals why not try something natural to beat the discomfort you feel.


> Follow are the 12 natural remedies that work to not only keep a cough and cold at bay but also help to relieve the symptoms:-

1. Drink herbal green tea with honey.
Hot, green soothing tea has been a cough remedy for hundreds of years. Antioxidant-rich green tea may also help reduce upper respiratory infection symptoms and add honey for an extra boost so it tastes good.

2. Sleep on an incline.
When it comes to night time cough, gravity is your enemy. All the postnasal drainage and mucus you swallow during the day backs up and irritates your throat when you lay down at night. Try to defy gravity by propping yourself up on some pillows while you sleep, it will help you to sleep well.

3. Stay hydrated.
Getting enough fluids is always a good idea, and even more so when you have a cold, as staying hydrated helps to thin mucus and make coughs more productive, and helps fight infection. Water is ideal, but soothing chicken soup counts.

4. Treat your cold and cough with turmeric.
Turmeric is rich in cur cumin and volatile oils that have a protective as well as therapeutic action in persons suffering from cough and cold. "Haldi" is also has anti-viral and anti-bacterial activity that can help beat the infection. The best way to use turmeric is as soon as you feel a scratchy sensation in your throat that indicates the onset of a sore throat or cough. Turmeric can help prevent the infection from worsening. The easiest way to use turmeric is as "Haldi Doodh". To make this drink, take a teaspoon of haldi and add it to a glass of milk. Now boil the mixture and drink it while it is still hot. You can add some honey to the mixture too, in order to sweeten the drink and add to its antibacterial and antiviral properties.

5. Use steam cautiously.
Dry airways can make your cough worse, you may find relief from taking a shower or a bath before going to bed or just sitting in a steamy bathroom. In one research I have found that, "If you have asthma, steam can actually make a cough worse".

6. Zap your cough with a vaporizer.
Using a vaporizer or a humidifier adds moisture to the air, which can moisten your airway passages, reducing the likelihood that a dry, hacking cough will wake you up. This can also provide daytime cough relief, so you can set it up wherever you spend the most time, such as in your room, friend’s home, work-place and family room.

7. Drink protective herbal tea.
Besides the turmeric tea and green tea mentioned above, there are other herbal tea's that also help people who suffer from frequent cough and cold. These tea’s combine the beneficial effects of different ingredients such as pepper, ginger, tulsi and cinnamon to help relieve the symptoms of cold and cough and keep the condition at bay.

8. Watch the humidity.
Humidifiers can help coughs if the air is dry. But too much moisture in your bedroom can keep you coughing, too. Dust mites and mold, both common allergens thrive in damp air. So, you keep humidity levels at 40% to 50%. To measure humidity, pick up an inexpensive device a hygrometer at your hardware store.

9. Prepare your bedside.
In case you start coughing in the night, have everything you need by your bed. A glass of water, cough medicines or drops, and anything else that seems to help. The sooner you can stop a coughing fit, the better. Continually coughing irritates your airways, which can make your night time problem last longer.

10. Keep bedding clean.
If you have a cough and are prone to allergies, focus on your bed. Dust mites are tiny creatures that eat dead flakes of skin and lurk in bedding are a common allergy trigger. To get rid of them, each week wash all your bedding in hot water.

11. Consider medicine.
Over-the-counter cough medicines can help in two ways. An expectorant can help loosen mucus. A cough suppressant  blocks the cough reflex and reduces the urge to cough. Look carefully at the label to make sure you get the medicine that's right for your cough. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you're not sure.

12. See your doctor.
If you've had a nighttime cough for longer than 7 days, it's time to check in with your doctor. It may take some time, but together, you and your doctor can figure out the cause and make your nights peaceful again. Apply vapor rub, the same menthol-scented balm your mother or grandmother rubbed on your chest when you were a kid can help clear nasal passages, which can help relieve nighttime coughing. It still works great on your kids as well.
