Cough
Coughing is a reflex that keeps your throat and airways clear. Although it can be annoying, coughing helps your body heal or protect itself. Coughs can be either acute or chronic. Acute coughs begin suddenly and usually last no more than 2 to 3 weeks. Acute coughs are the kind you most often get with a cold, flu, or acute bronchitis. Chronic coughs last longer than 2 to 3 weeks. Causes of chronic cough include:
- Chronic bronchitis
- Asthma
- Allergies
- COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
- Smoking
- Throat disorders, such as croup in young children
- Some medicines
Water can help ease your cough - whether you drink it or add it to the air with a steamy shower or vaporizer. If you have a cold or the flu, antihistamines may work better than non-prescription cough medicines. Children under four should not have cough medicine. For children over four, use caution and read labels carefully.

COLDS COUGH FEVER [acute viral rhinopharyngitis - acute cor]
Garlic has been used for colds, bronchial problems, coughs and fevers throughout history. It is a blood thinner and lowers cholesterol.
In a blender, chop 3 garlic cloves and 1/2 a lemon (including the skin).
Steep contents in a cup with boiling water for 5 minutes.
Strain solids, leaving the liquid.
Add a little honey to the liquid.
Drink slowly.
For colds: Prepare and drink garlic tea 3 times a day.
During epidemics/pandemics: Drink 1 time per day.
This may just be what we need to help prevent COVID-19 infections!
Sulfur Compounds: aliin, allicin, ajoene, allylpropl, diallyl, trisulfide, sallylcysteine, vinyldithiines, S-allylmercaptocystein, and others.
Amino acids: arginine and others.
Enzymes: allinase, peroxidases, myrosinase, and others.
Allicin (diallyl thiousulfinate or diallyl disulfide) does not exist in garlic until it is crushed or cut. Crushing the garlic bulb activates the enzyme allinase which metabolizes alliin to allicin.NathanielHawthorne | August 13th, 2020
