I took a supplements on amazon with Sea moss + burdock root & bladderwrack extract all in one, and It worked for me, but in the same day I also took melatonin and SAM-e supplement, so it maybe that also
Apple Cider Vinegar
Have you tried Stinging Nettle Leaf? It is considered a natural antihistamine. I take capsule form which really helps with post nasal drip or runny nose. A good brand is one by Wild Harvest. I always carry some in person because it's great for cold/allergy symptoms! I hope this helps you.

Mullein Leaf Extract

I found Mullein Leaf Extract on Amazon, and tried it when I couldn't get rid of the ever lasting cough after Covid. It was the only thing that finally got rid of the chest congestion and coughing. I take it anytime I get a cough now, and it's been a lifesaver. I consider this a MUST HAVE in your medicine cabinet. It doesn't taste great, but it's doable. I put about 30 drops in a little bit of water, stir it, and chug it down. It's pretty amazing.

I suggested she do the Vitamin D3 treatment....50,000 ius on the first day followed by 10,000 ius each day for a week and then 50,000 more for the following 2 weeks plus the daily 10,000. Guess what. She is cured. She had been on antibiotics and everything imaginable to get rid of this. She was sick for over 8 months.
Not only is her respiratory infection gone but she told me that she is no longer depressed and she has a great outlook on life again. Mind you, when I saw Cindy in January her skin was gray and she couldn't talk without coughing. Today looks completely healthy. I just went upstairs on a errand and I saw her in the classroom with students and the teacher she assists and she was laughing and healthy for the first time in almost a year. Vitamin D is an amazing thing.
Echinacea and Goldenseal
★★★★★
I took one capsule of echinacea/golden seal in the evening after a hot bath of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and in the morning had minimal coughing. I also took a zinc lozenge and another echinacea/ goldenseal in the morning...I have hardly even coughed today. Pretty sure it was the echinacea/goldenseal that did it for me!
Thyme in Lemon Water
★★★★★
Thyme in lemon water can help a cough. Also, we do a steam inhalation with thyme sea salt or pink salt and mint and find that helps.

I would highly recommend Celery Juice first thing in the morning. My daughter was diagnosed with silent re-flux due to which she had cough. Celery juice cured the problem and her cough too.

I've seen all the ACV and honey reviews so I'm praying that this will work for her. I know it's her decision but I really don't want her taking any prescription Rxs or even over the counter because she's already taking a medication for another issue.
We tried straight honey; turmeric and honey in warm water; honey, lemon juice, and red pepper in warm water. So far none of those has stopped the coughing. She said I'm so afraid that she's damaging her lungs.
I also put some vapor rub on her feet. Fingers crossed that something works. She's an adult but she's still my baby and I don't like to see her ill.

Janet Hull: Kelly, things that come to mind.
The very first is mold. It can be a tiny amount hidden. Unseen and a problem.
You can buy inexpensive Petrie dish mold tests. Amazon or Lowes. You set one in each room. You can compare to pics on Google or pay for analysis.
Or you can experiment. Best decision I ever made.
Teds remedy on E.C. for mold.
1 gallon bucket. Add 1/3 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax. Let stand 1 hour. You now have a saturated solution of borax. Pour into a spray bottle. Leave some room. Add 5 to 10% white ammonia. To 90 to 95% borax solution.
Shake, stand in shower. Spray above your head. Inhaling some of the fine spray. You will find the cough is gone. I usually spray and breath 5x. This will answer the cause question immediately. If this is not it, there are some others. If it is, I recommend going to Teds remedies on earth clinic. Read his chapter on mold. The one I am posting is my go to. But there is much more throughout the chapter.
If it is not mold. Bill Munro's hydrogen peroxide spray, a wonderful effective treatment for so many issues. The lung especially. It is listed on the EC index page.
NAC n acetyl cysteine. The amazing cure. This 1 amino acid does so much. But for coughs it is quick and effective a real solution.
Take 1 dose each time you cough. By the third cough, usually gone.
You might look into whooping cough. The people that get vaccinated spread it, I think.
If it is that, you need Teds l lysine remedy. To kill the virus.
There are 2. I is 4 to 8 oz of water. 1 capful of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide. Add 1/4 tsp baking soda. Sip for 15 minutes until gone. 2 to 3x a day.
I like to have, in the morning, 1/4 tsp sea salt in water. This just raises minerals in the body. Usually depleted in the unwell
Lysine remedy
3 ..8 to 10 oz water bottles
in a measuring cup pour 1/3 the content of each water bottle. Pour off 1 inch of water down the drain from each bottle.
in measuring cup
buy powdered from amazon
l lysine 12,000 mg
l threonine 4000mg
2 plain aspirin to kill bacteria
2000 mg sodium ascorbate
methylene blue, from aquarium supplier on amazon
This comes as a powder in a bottle.
Fill with distilled water to first rim. It stains, work on a glass plate, vitamin c or ascorbate removes stain.
Cap and shake gently.
Buy a 2 oz dropper bottle
take 2 droppers of solution. Add to dropper bottle. Fill remaining with distilled water. Careful to leave room to put dropper back in. About to seven tenths of the bottle. Cap shake. Add 2 droppers of m.b. to your measuring cup.
Whisk. Pour back into water bottles. Cap.
4 equal marks on each bottle for doses.
Store in frig.
For 3 days. 4 hourly doses in the am. You should start getting results right away.
Vitamin e 400iu 1x a week supports the lung.
We use dry emulsified E.
Some other causes come to mind, to pursue Teds info. Gut health. Read Gerd remedies. Often a cause of coughing.
Mushy sphincters. Wreak havoc. Magnesium can be needed in all above remedies, especially Gerd.
250 mg 2x a day mag citrate for constipated types, mag malate for runny stool types.
Teeth, your mouth can get a lift, Milk of Magnesia mouth wash. 1/2 spring water, 1/2 m.o.m. add a drop or 2 of essential oil for taste 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp xylitol to kill infection. In a 1 liter bottle. Rinse and spit a few times leaving solution there after last spit.
A few x a day.
E.C.s video on colloidal silver, inhalation method. Excellent.

Laura Noreña: With the exception of the multivitamin, the supplements he advices are great. I take those plus, Vit D, Vit K-2, Zinc, Fish oil and the desiccated liver and others. Talk about a bunch of supplements! But I feel great 
ðŸ‘ðŸ». Anything that keeps me away from statins 
I also ditched all wheat and grains, which are very inflammatory.

Sharon Parker: Hubby had man flu then sharp loud coughs for 7-8wks. After checking on here we decided to try echinacea tincture 3 times a day, took 2 weeks to calm and another to almost go. Also he stopped drinking red wine for 2wks as it appeared to aggrevate the cough.
-------------------
Debbie Smith: I had a cough forever from acid reflux.. Lemon water is what has helped me. I drink it with a straw to help protect my teeth.
-------------------
Stephie McCarthy: I modified an idea I found on EarthClinic. I began putting H2O2, 1/4 cup per gallon of water in an ordinary humidifier I ran at night. I was able to cure a cough I'd had, plus chest pressure, wheezing, post-nasal drip, and asthma, that I'd suffered for six months. Being able to breath at night IS a wonderful sensation!
-------------------
Cindy Kittrell Wilson: I make a cough syrup: 2 T. Hot water, 1/4 tsp. Cayenne, 1/4 tsp. Ground ginger, shake in capped bottle. Add T. Honey and 1 T. Fresh lemon juice. Shake. Take a sip when needed. I usually double this recipe.
-------------------
Linda Luke: My personal experience with a chronic cough:
6 years - Any and every natural remedy without success.
I had acute anemia which affected my circulation and caused fluid build up in my lungs. Treated with careful doctor's management over two years, given multiple other side effects and addressing the root of the anemia, I now have almost no symptoms and a very healthy cardiovascular system.
While this may not be your scenario, the root cause may not have yet been addressed.
I suffered for all those years because I lacked insurance, and when I finally submitted to a series of tests - blood, MRI, ultrasound, we found the problem and worked from there.
Not sure where you lie in trusting doctors, but that was also something I struggled with. There is a good balance, and modern medicine could possibly show you more answers than treating a symptom only.
All the best to you.

Barb Noonan: My husband used to get this cough, for years. I started putting young living essential oils along his spine several times a day, particularly thieves and rc. Within a day he improved until it quit and never came back.

Tana Archer :7 yr cough? has this been investigated? like thyroid ? you mention phlegm - have you had chest/lung scans?
-------------------
Sue Bryant: fresh ginger root tea with a touch of raw or manuka honey. you mentioned phlegm? also, if it is a 7 year cough, it is going to take time.. I'd stick with the apple cider vinegar- it may take a few weeks or month to really take effect.

Lois Hoffma: I went to 6 doctors and specialists for my cough of 4 years, tried every home remedy possible. Acupuncture fixed me right up, to me it was a miracle.

Apple Cider Vinegar
NAC is great for thinning mucus, you might consider a mallow herb extract for it's mucilaginous and protective lining, and you could try adding baking soda to your Apple Cider Vinegar per Ted's protocol to see if that gives the health benefits you require. You can still add the (raw) honey for taste. Final thought, iodine resides in mucus areas, and many others, sexual organs eg. Antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial etc, and most people are deficient. You may research the benefits of the Iodine protocol, or much gentler to the body add some kelp extract. Best to you.

Thank you Ted for earthclinic.com.
Yellow Propolis
★★★★★
Here is tested remedy for chronic cough (consumption, phthisis) -
You must take 100gr of yellow propolis (not with black parts), freeze it at home in your freezer- it can be crushed in small parts or cut- freeze it once again for a few hours - take 3-4 small parts from freezer each time ( to avoid defrost) and grind it in coffee grinder - place grined propolis in 1 litre glass jar - poure 250gr of 75-degree alcohol (ethanol) - shake it well, close the lid and place the jar in fridge (don't freeze) for 10 days - shake it several times each day - outcome is natural tincture of propolis.
Melt on fire 250 gr high quality butter together with 2 tiles of dark chocolate, let it cool down a bit, and mix with tincture. Finally, add 250 gr of raw honey. That's all.
Can have 1 teaspoon on empty stomach twice a day.
Increase the dose up to 2 teaspoon twice a day after two weeks, if no allergic reaction.
Take until it's over.
Use it during a year in severe case (phthisis, along with regular prescriptions).
Good luck

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda
Some nebulizers can not deliver enough silver particles to the lungs because the surface area of the lungs can be close to the size of half of a tennis court.
https://www.reference.com/science/surface-area-human-lungs-ffc6ae1756c2f2e
Another way to get enough silver particles into the lungs is using an ultrasonic humidifier. Something to keep in mind in case the cough returns.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda
★★★★★
I noticed here at Earth Clinic that sometimes the apple cider vinegar and baking soda tonic works for a cough. I was thinking about this while making dinner and I heard him cough. I thought about how the tonic would be alkalizing. And then I recalled that this son drinks a lot of coffee, which can make you pretty acidic. So I fixed him up a glass of the apple cider vinegar and baking soda tonic - 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 12 ounces of water. He skeptically drank it down.
At bedtime, rather sheepishly, he asked, what was in that drink? I think it really helped. I have hardly coughed since dinner. Usually I hear him coughing in the morning when he is making his breakfast before work. Today is an early work day. I heard him scrambling eggs at 4 am and did not hear a single cough, though his cough usually sounds pretty bad in the morning.
I don't know if his cough was from his cold, an allergy, or something else. But I know that the apple cider vinegar and baking soda tonic worked very well for his cough!!

Using my fingertips, I would firmly tap, moving my hands around both lung areas of the back several times a day/night and it helped break up the mucous every time! He was then able to cough up the mucous and got better much quicker.
Also, in addition to using a warm mist humidifier overnight while he slept, I would take him into the bathroom with a book to read him, turn the shower water on hot, full blast and have him inhale the steam. Between the back tapping and the steam, he would be good as new in no time! :)
Pulmonary Cupping or Back Whacking
★★★★★
Years ago I had pneumonia and even though after one week I felt better I was actually worse as all the crap in my lungs had sunk to the bottom. They put me on a new antibiotic that in the end did the trick, but when I asked my doctor "what else can I do?" she said "find someone to slap your back". I didn't then, but in the past few years I have had many many simple colds that turn into chest colds (I'm a smoker, have to quit that I know) and as everything else improves, my cough is persistent for a long time after. Unless I call my nurse friends over to whack my back that is. They can tell by the sound when they're cupping where the congestion is. Sort of like knocking on a wall to find the stud, the sound density is different. Once they find the spot or spots where the mucus is, they go to town and I hack it up. I can't recommend it enough, it always works and gets rid of the cough in 48 hours or less. You have to do it a few times, but it always works.
I agree with you. I take iodine everyday. I will check into the other things you mentioned.
I am very interested in Mullein and other natural healing herbs. I think I have id'ed some but not exactly sure plus the stuff I found is near a road and probably not so fresh.
Thanks for the info.
Joy, Thank you!
Editors, Thank you!
Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation, Water and Sea Salt
Hydrogen Peroxide Inhalation, Water and Sea Salt
If I may add a few items to further improve on this condition & solution.
As for Salt, yes Sea Salt (Iodized) and Pink Himalayan Salt are many times preferred over processed salt. Only drawback to these is an out-of-balance ratio of Sodium to all the other major & minor Minerals needed by the body. Check out Dr Joel Wallach "Dead Doctors Don't Lie". If I am not mistaken there are now "low sodium" Pink Himalayan Salt products which helps correct the imbalance. For the single best source of Minerals look no further than Ionic Trace Minerals. Next time you go to Colorado, keep heading west destination Utah Great Salt Lake (or go there on YouTube vids), one of planet Earth's greatest deposits of Major & Trace Minerals. Also very important in the Mineral Category is Iodine. Kelp supplement is a good start or preventive, but Iodine supplements are best.
Now, for the lungs. You may wish to research & consider these nutrients for healthy respiratory. Glucosamine Sulfate, has a very beneficial effect on mucus membranes in the gut & lungs. Calcium 2 AEP, also has beneficial effects on lung function and helps the entire body transport minerals in & out of cells. The herb Mullein is beneficial for lungs and grows all about Kentucky.
Back to minerals. Research & consider BlackStrapMolasses (BSM) a big favorite here on E.C. BSM is a great addition to Coffee as a natural sweetener and a big Mineral booster with substantial amounts of Iron & Magnesium among others.
For whole body oxygenation research & consider Sodium Chlorite or Oxygen Supplement. SC boost Oxygen in the blood & body naturally or you can go strait to oral drops of H2O2. With a little research you will find that many Mountain Climbers use these nutrients to increase performance in high altitudes.
You may also consider improving your indoor air with Negative Ion and/or Ozone purifiers. Many retailers label or promote their products with words like "Alpine Air" because that once low oxygen indoor air now smells & feels "fresh" like an Alpine environment or your outdoors after a rainstorm or May shower. This is air with high concentrations of Negative and low concentration of positive Ions. This relieves a huge burden off the lungs and brings back the body's Main endogenous antioxidant Glutathione.
Lastly, back to Lung health. A few yrs back someone discovered and produced a device that physically "strengthens" the lungs. It's called "PowerLung" and it has big benefits on lungs and overall body performance especially in athletics or mountain climbing, as it increases the volume of air going in and air going out of the lungs.
