Last week when I pay a visit to my sister's place, I noticed that she grows her potty garden very well. I asked for few stems of Bowles mint leaves (the species that is big and furry type). I used the leaves to boil a pot of natural cough remedy to soothe my cough. Then, the steams are planted.
This type of mint leaves have very strong smell. You'll either love it or hate it. Of course, I like it a lot. It's very refreshing.

Before you can learn the cough home remedy solutions, you must know what the symptoms of coughing are. There are two types of cough: acute and chronic. Acute cough is coughing that lasts for two weeks while chronic cough is the condition that lasts for three weeks or more. General symptoms of cough may include chills, body aches, sore throat, fever, nausea, headache, sinus pressure, runny nose, wheezing and post nasal drips.
