Cold and Cough Home Remedies

Here are the list of some of the common herbal and natural home remedies for treating Cold and Cough :

Boil down 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds (without the shells, of course) in 5 cups of water until there's about 2 cups of liquid left in the pot. Then stir in 1/4 cup of honey and 3/4 cup of gin. This potion is particularly good for chest colds.

Vitamin C in doses of 500 mg. Four times a day will shorten flu symptoms by a day or two. Vitamin C works best for colds instead of the flu. Cough drops made from the herb horehound can be effective.

Mix 1 teaspoon pepper powder with 4 teaspoon gur (jaggery). Make small balls. Suck 3-4 balls/tablets during the day.
