Natural and Alternative Cough Treatment Options
Cough Treatment {introduction}
A cough is the body's reaction to irritants in the airways, which carry air to and from the lungs. When the lungs become irritated, the nerve endings in the airways react by clearing out the lungs--or coughing. Often, coughing is a symptom of a larger medical issue such as acid reflux disease, an upper respiratory infection, asthma or a common cold.
Below you will find alternative and natural treatment options including those from a Chinese Medicine perspective for coughing.
