Natural remedies for Cough

Thyme

Some people use thyme for respiratory illnesses. In fact, one 2021 randomized controlled trialTrusted Source found that thyme and ivy herbal extract helped reduce both acute cough and cough severity in study participants. The participants also didn’t report any adverse side effects. 

Thyme leaves may contain compounds called flavonoids that relax the throat muscles involved in coughing and lessen inflammation.

You can make thyme tea at home using 2 teaspoons of crushed thyme leaves and 1 cup of boiling water. Cover the cup, steep for 10 minutes, and strain.
