Aromatherapy home remedy for cough
The best form of a home remedy for cough is an aromatherapy steam inhalation,ย since this will soothe the throat and bronchi, and also loosen any excessive mucus so that expelling it by coughing becomes easier.
If the cough is due to a bacterial infection, bactericidal essential oils should be chosen to attack the root of the problem, Essential oils that combat coughs include Benzoin (extremely soothing to the throat), Eucalyptus, Thyme, Frankincense, Lavender, Marjoram and Sandalwood (helpful for dry coughs).
Massage to the throat and chest, with any of these oils, is an alternative, or both methods can be used together. Oils in a burner will help especially at night.
