The Most Effective Chronic Cough Remedies

HealthPrep Staff

Peppermint

Livestrong

Peppermint leaves are incredibly soothing, making them an excellent remedy for chronic coughing. Menthol is the active ingredient in peppermint, and it is what is responsible for soothing the throat and clearing congestion. It may also help break down mucus. Drinking peppermint tea is an effective way to soothe the throat, and inhaling peppermint essential oil is also beneficial. While individuals can use packaged peppermint tea, they can also use fresh peppermint leaves directly taken from a plant and use those to make a tea. Those who want to inhale the steam should prepare a steam bath by adding a few drops of peppermint essential oil to every one hundred and fifty milliliters of hot water and inhale the water with deep breaths.
