Coughing is not a disease itself, but rather a symptom which usually appears when there is an infection or irritation of the airways. However, when the cough is persistent it is considered chronic and is commonly associated with asthma, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis and esophageal reflux.

    These are all fantastic suggestions - quite often the power of teas and infusion drinks for medicinal purposes is completely underestimated. Personally I had only heard of popular remedies such as honey and lemon for sore throats, but both the oats and eucalyptus sound fantastic and I will be saving this article for the next time an annoying cough presents itself in my household!

    Oh I just love teas!! So incredible. Not only do they taste great, but they are so medicinal too!! I'm always looking for new tea ideas, so thanks! I especially enjoy ginger tea with a drop of honey, and we have fresh peppermint and spearmint that grows in our yard, so of a morning I walk outside and break off a few sprigs. What a great way to stay warm and healthy!!

    I have a remedy made with eucalyptus, you boil the leaves and breath the air that comes from the pot, this is very good for the entire body especially if you feel very ill, then taking teas is good too, so I will do it the next time I feel the symptoms of the cold...

    Perfect to use if you tend to have throat problems, which are so common in those cold days, then I will share this with my friends to reduce the appearance of this awful disease, especially if children have them, because they tend to get ill so often for nothing!
