What is Cough?
A natural sudden reflex which humans and some animals use to
clean their breathing system, nuisances, mucus in throat and other microbes.
It is made naturally so that it protects your lungs. There are three phases of
cough:
- Breathe in
- Exhalation forcefully with a closed glottis
- Intense release of air followed by the opening of glottis with a typical sound

Everything described above is all about the normal cough. But regular and frequent coughs may be a cause of some disease. There are viruses, bacteria and other
germs in the air which sometimes attack you when you inhale. Or it can be
transferred from a person who is carrying these viruses. When a person coughs
without their hand on their mouth, and you are sitting beside them, there are
chances that they have conveyed their germs to you.
Types of Cough
Acute
An acute cough continues less than 3 weeks. Cold and other respiratory
infections can be the common causes of this type of cough.
Sub-acute
The duration of a sub-acute cough is 3 – 8 weeks. This type of cough takes
a bit longer to finish so it can continue even your cold or respiratory
infections are over.
Chronic
This is the most serious among these types i.e. a chronic cough. It
lasts more than 8 weeks. It can be because of Post-nasal drip (upper airway cough
syndrome), asthma etc.
Whatever is the type of cough you have, it must be cured on early steps
so that it cannot harm your lungs and of course it cannot disturb your loved
ones. :) That is why we are sharing with you some of the easiest and natural remedies to

Ginger really works like some magic for many of the diseases like a dull
appetite, tummy cramps, joint pain etc. Honey is also a remedy for many of the human
problems like cancer, heart diseases, ulcers, fungus etc. All you need to do is
to extract sap from ginger. Wash the ginger, grind it thoroughly, wrap the
crushed ginger in some neat cloth and press it with force. Collect its sap in
some bowl. Mix it well with some amount of honey. Eat it and that's it. Do this daily
until you are no more restless because of your cough.

Everyone uses flour in their daily routine life and when something is available easily in the market and we can have it daily, sometimes we forget its worth. This tip can make you realize that how beneficial flour can be for your health.Take 58 grams of flour and sift it. Take the leftover and boil it a lot
in some water. Add salt or sugar (whatever you like) to taste. Drink this water
when it becomes drinkable. Please avoid using cold water when you are on cough.
Your disease can be even worse using cold water.
