Do you have a cure for your cough?

Do you have a cure for your cough?

Chesty coughs often linger around for weeks after other nasty symptoms of a cold have passed, causing lost shut-eye, a sore chest, and overall irritation to you and those around you.

Coughers can now seek instant relief with A.Vogel’s newly licensed Bronchoforce Chesty Cough Ivy-Thyme Complex. Unlike cough syrups, the ivy-thyme combination helps tackle the coughing reflex to reduce the amount and severity of coughs.

Ivy encourages the loosening and elimination of mucus from the respiratory tract and acts as an antispasmodic to calm the spasms of coughing. Thyme thins mucus making it easier for the lungs to clear and bring up, while disinfecting the airways, helping to throw off any lingering infection.

People who give up smoking are also prone to a lingering cough because the cilica (tiny hairs lining the respiratory tract) come back to life and start trying to shift the accumulated muck up and out.

A.Vogel nutritional therapist, Ali Cullen, offers some advice to help get rid of a cough after a cold or quitting cigarettes:

“Avoid dairy products until the catarrhal congestion has gone, and up the intake of fresh fruit and vegetables with plenty of lung-friendly vitamin C.

“It really does help to wrap up warmly and keep your throat and chest covered.

“Putting bowls of water with a few drops of essential oils such as pine or eucalyptus in them on top of radiators in your bedroom or office will help create a better atmosphere for struggling lungs.

“Try to avoid going from very heated to very cold temperatures until your lungs are feeling a little more robust, as the temperature changes trigger coughing spasms.

“Coughing often seems to get worse when you settle into bed and try to drift off to sleep. Propping yourself up in bed will also help ease the urge to cough.

“If your lingering cough persists see your doctor.”
