NATURAL REMEDIES FOR COUGH AND CHEST INFECTION
1. Vicks vapo rub

NOTE: The best Vicks vapo rub are those which are made with Turpentine oil, menthol crystals, camphor & few drops on Eucalyptus essential oils [the best example of this kind of oil is AXE OIL, which lacks petroleum/petrolatum or any mineral oil. It is easily available in small stores, made in Singapore]. It is the Best to avoid Petroleum based (mineral oil) Vicks vapo rub because petroleum plays havoc with children's hormones (increases estrogen in the body)
Rub under foot, massage and put on socks.
2. Manuka Honey (with a higher UMF 60+)
3. USE COUGH SYRUPS with:
Propolis, eucalyptus, ivy extract leaves. Thymus extract. Mellow extract. Alot of vitamin C from oranges, amla or any natural form.
