Another herb that works very well for coughs, used it with great success and it is a main ingredient in my home made cough syrup, is coltsfoot. Latin name: Tussilago farfara
Usually medicinal herbs need to be used in larger quantity than beverage herbs or black/green tea, and steeped longer. I made very strong coltsfoot when I had a cough that would just NOT let me go. I made a big pot of ultra strong coltsfoot, drank several cups one day, and next day almost no cough at all.
Coltsfoot. Hmmm, had not heard of that one. Glad to know it is powerful for cough. Will have to remember that one. Thanks.
You know what I just sit and marvel about sometimes? How when God made His Earth, he filled it with materials that are exactly what mankind needs. What a wonderful God we have. Especially in these times, it helps me to remember that!
