    Default Natural Remedy for Congestion

    I was wondering if any of you have remedies for chest congestion. My ex, is having serious chest pains from coughing, she has a runny nose and a sore scratchy throat. She refuses to take medicine (pills) but she is willing to do something that is all natural. Please give me some suggestions..she sounds awful!!

    Run steaming hot water in the sink, lean over it with a towel over your head and breathe in the steam.

    Also Zicam (found at any walgreens) is a natural substance that you put up your nose to get rid of the congesstion.

    Hmm I'm going to try talking her into the Zicam. Her putting something up her nose maybe a no go for her..I'll see what she says though.

    More suggestions please!!!

    eating raw garlic helps fight off bacteria. cooked garlic doesn't have the same effect because it destroys the oils. i personally can't stand chewing the stuff (it's bitter as hell raw) so i chop it up really small and swallow it in some juice. barely notice it then. i only do one clove. there's typically no side effects but over doing it can cause stomach irritation. i assume you'd have to eat quite a bit of it over an extended period of time though.

    lemon is also bacteria fighting and warm liquid will help break up the congestion. see if she will drink some hot tea with fresh lemon juice and honey. chicken soup would also be good. the reason it's such an old standby is the combination of salt and warmth, it helps to clean things out and break shit up.

    also, have her drink plenty of water. this will help thin her mucus and make it easier to cough up.

    she's right about not wanting antibiotics though. unless she's having severe difficultly breathing or is running a fever, i would give it a good fight naturally for a few days. most of these things are caused by viral infections and antibiotics won't help. and.. i'm opposed to over the counter pills too (for myself).. unless it's really bad.

    if she starts running a fever over 101 though... it's doctor time.

    unrefined/celtic sea salt clears up mucus
    water helps to flush it out
    getting rid of things causing the mucus (dairy is a common culprit) helps a lot.

    ^like i said, i highly suggest drinking it. i know people who chew it..... but it's horrid IMO (and i love cooked garlic). just make sure it's a fresh clove and DO NOT wash it after cutting it, you'll rinse off a lot of the oils. just chop it really fine... put it in a small glass of juice. i find the thicker the better, if you use water it'll just sink to the bottom. v8 or tomato juice is best (it also goes well together) but orange juice oven soda will work too.

    Neti pot. How-to

    Works freakin wonders. I'm not one for nasal sprays, or anything like that, trust me. But this is amazing and it works. I have had four broken noses, a deviated septum, and horrendous allergies. I've tried drugs, sprays, whatever, *nothing* works like the neti pot. And it's less than $10.

    And if your friend needs help, I can email or talk with her. Seriously, I am a convert. Neti pots are teh awesomes.

    Zicam does have non-up-the-nose stuff. I use the quick desolve tablets, they work for me very well.

    That sounds like it would be hella good for us folks in Texas right now, because we had a dramatic weather change last week, and it left us with sinus problems. I hope your friend finds something to make her feel better. With all the side effects medicine can give you who can blame her for not wanting to use any. I am not as strong as your friend i'm a P)$$Y when it comes to "riding things out" hell to the know give me the good stuff! lol. Good luck trying it all with her too!

    Go to sleep with a clove of garlic in your mouth (don't bite into it and it won't be too bad) and you'll wake up with clear(er) lungs. And eat raw garlic to kill the germs.
