Suffering from a Severe Cough? Try This Amazing Home Remedy

Winter is here, bringing with it an accumulation of phlegm leading to chronic cough. It's not easy to overcome a sudden coughing fit, and it's hard to calm it down - but as you may know, traditional remedies offer various solutions for this condition.

You've probably heard of honey and onion syrup, a syrup combining ginger extract, and even cinnamon syrup - in one form or another, and there's no point in talking about something you already know. What do we want to tell you? If you've tried all the others and were disappointed, you can try the 'wonder ointment' many American doctors and bloggers recommend - and you won't believe how easy and simple it is to make it yourself.

All you will need is coconut oil, organic honey, medical adhesive tape (not a plaster but actual tape), a small gauze pad, and... flour.

Why the flour? Good question: the flour basically combines all the ingredients together, so it's convenient for you to apply it to the trachea close to the chest - for an entire night.

Apply the mixture onto the gauze, and attach the gauze to your chest with the medical adhesive tape for a whole night.

The lauric acid in the coconut oil helps reduce phlegm buildup, and the active ingredients in both will be absorbed better in the body if we place the gauze on the trachea.
