Dry cough remedies 

Take three tablespoons of stabilized aloe vera juice and blend it with a teaspoon of honey. Keep sipping this preparation all throughout the day or as and when as you feel the cough coming on. Dry cough brings up a racking noise from the throat which tends to grate on the upper respiratory system and irritate the chest.




Keep a glass of warm water by your bedside and add to this water a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. When you feel a cough coming on or the sensation sets in initiating a cough take a sip or two of the water. The vinegar in the water has the ability to dissolve the mucus if any and reduce the inflammation.


It is also effective is easing out the cough.

Another effective solution is garlic mixed with honey. Take a whole clove of garlic and crush it well. in a small vessel place the garlic in it along with a teaspoon of honey. Cover the bowl well and leave it to stand for about 12 hours. Before having breakfast or an empty stomach take a spoonful of the garlic extract and honey. Garlic cures dry cough while honey helps to soothe the inflamed throat.
