Condition:
Cough
Definition:
A cough is a reflex action to clear your airways of mucus and irritants such as dust or smoke. Coughing is a common reaction of the respiratory system trying to expel harmful microbes, dust or irritants. As mucus or other substances accumulate in the airways, this reflexive action attempts to facilitate unobstructed breathing.
Protocols
Symptom:
Most coughs clear up within 3 weeks and don’t require any treatment.
A dry cough means it’s tickly and doesn’t produce any phlegm (thick mucus). A chesty cough means phlegm is produced to help clear your airways.
A cough can be nothing more than the body’s natural reaction to an irritant, or it can be a symptom of an underlying illness or even lung cancer. Coughing is generally caused by an infection (such as upper respiratory infections, sinus infections and pneumonia) but may also have noninfectious causes (such as asthma, allergies, GERD and chronic bronchitis).
Essential oils are widely known to provide relief for stubborn coughs.
