- Onions
- Onions are a great, all-round, natural health remedy.
- They are in the same plant family as garlic, so share a lot of the same healing properties – such as being able to cure viruses and infections.
- Onions are particularly effective natural cough remedies – so use any that you have in your cupboard!
- Eat onions - raw is best!
- Or, stew your onions to make a broth or drink. (Imagine onion soup – the thought makes it less weird to think of drinking onions!) You can add a little honey to sweeten it up if you like – this will also help to soothe your throat and all your passages.
- P.S. It’s medicine – it’s not supposed to taste nice!
- Or make a poultice with your onions.

- Cabbage
- Crush cabbage leaves, and make a tea with the resulting juice. I must say, this sounds hideous, and I confess that it is not a remedy I have actually tried myself. But apparently, it does work well – and again, you can sweeten it with honey, to make it taste nicer…
- After you have made one, or both of the above natural flu remedy teas, use the crushed cabbage leaves or the stewed onion to create a poultice to go over the chest.
- It is probably easiest to soak a piece of cotton or muslin cloth in the cabbage/onion mixture, then apply to the chest until cool (or until you get fed up!)
Return to the list of treatments - Mullein
- This is excellent for both dry or chesty coughs.
- For the best results, take the tincture which can be bought from health food shops and natural health remedies suppliers
- Or, you can take mullein as a tea:
- 2 teaspoons of the dried leaves and flowers in a cup of hot water
- Cover and steep for 10 minutes
- Drink up to 6 cups a day

Natural Cough Remedies for a Chesty Cough
- A chesty cough is one where you can feel (and hear) the phlegm on your chest. Often you may actually have trouble coughing it up.
- You still need to get rid of that nasty phlegm though. That is what your body is trying to do itself, every time you cough. Far better out than in though!
- Ginger Tea
- Make a ginger tea from some grated ginger root, and cinnamon, in hot water.
- Steep for 10 – 15 minutes, strain and serve.
- Drink up to 3 cups a day
