Cure for Cough
Natural Cures - Proven to work in Inverness, FL -
The best way to get rid of a cough is to drink fresh carrot juice (as much as possible) and within a day or two, it should be gone.
You can buy it at your local health store or juice the carrots yourself if you have a juicer.
The problem with this, however, is it can be costly and time consuming (if you are using a juicer).
So here is another option that I do a lot (and also use it for my daughter). I use a homeopathic "cold remedy". You can buy it at your local health store or buy it online. You have to follow the instructions just like it says. Sometimes, you have to take the "pill" once every 2 hours and sometimes it will be once every 15 minutes until it subsides... and then an hour or two thereafter till it goes away.
For me, the homeopathic cold remedy works typically within 2 days... but again, you need to be religious about taking the pills.

Prevention method -yogic breathing
better in brooklyn in brooklyn, new york -I used to get bronchitis six months out of the year and it was terrible. After doing kundalini yoga breaths - long deep breaths everyday plus "breath of fire" where you focus on exhaling small spurts of breath out your nose (the inhale comes automatically), I hardly ever get coughs and if I do, they last a normal range of time (a week or 2 weeks). Others may have a different experience, but this really really helped me. It's very difficult to be around people when you're coughing every five seconds - coughers you know what I'm talking about! Thank god I found these breathing exercises.

Vicks + socks
Anonymous in FL -To help you sleep through the night without that bothersome cough, apply Vicks vaporub on the sole of your feet then put on a pair of socks. I had to laugh when I read this in the newspaper but it has helped our family sleep better. Now I also have family & friends who swear it works.

QUICK
wawa in ohio -Take an onion and dice it up pour some sugar enough to cover the onion. Let stand until sugar pulls the onion juice out. Take one to two teaspoons when needed and it will knock the cough faster than anything.

Lemon tea
Mrs. P in wichita, ks USA -I've been up the past week with cough attacks to the point where I was crying. Then I remembered my aunt always giving me a glass of hot tea with honey and lemon juice. As soon as I took one drink I stopped coughing, I finished the rest of the tea and was able to sleep the rest of the night.

Thyme Tea as a Cough Remedy
Janice M in Jasper, Indiana -I have a nasty cold. When I'm up, I feel fine, but as soon as I lie down, I develop a violent cough. This has kept me awake for several nights.
Last night I ran out of cough medicine and had a horrible coughing fit at 2 am.
I heard once that thyme tea worked for coughs, so I made myself a cup of tea with a teaspoon of thyme leaves from my spice cabinet.
Although I didn't believe it would work, I got a good night's sleep without coughing the rest of the night.

Onion cure for cough and bronchitis
Lois Klapp in Penn Yan, NY -My son often gets bronchitis with a terrible cough and lung pain. This cure works every time, and works immediately.
Take one (1) medium to large onion (any type) and slice it into a pan of water (just enough to cover it well. Boil it until the onion is soft. Strain the onion and place it on a thick towel. Place the towel directly on your chest and leave it there until it cools.
Word of warning: Don't fall asleep and leave the towel on your bed. My son's mattress smelled like onion for weeks!
