How to Shake a Stubborn Cough

When I was a kid I had Bronchitis and every time I

got a cold it would settle in my chest and I’d be

up all night hacking.

The doctor told my mother that I had bronchitis

and it’s generally caused by lung infections,

usually viral in origin. My lungs were my weakest link

until I was around 18 years old before I

cleared it out of my system once and for all. I

believe I did it practicing Yoga and Qigong

breathing exercises.

Even after my cold was long gone that nasty

cough seemed to linger on for weeks and wiped me

out. It kept everyone awake most of the night.

The average time for a cough to last after a virus

is an exhausting 18 days – with many coughs

sticking around even longer.

But why do we even get a cough? “Coughing actually

has an important purpose.”

“It’s your body’s way of keeping unwanted stuff

from getting into your lungs and it gets the mucus

out. ”

The real secret is strengthening your lungs

and that’s where the Qigong comes into play.

It’s normal to have a cough with a virus, as it’s

triggered by mucus draining down the back of the

throat.

First let me say this 99% of antibiotics won’t

help, they just don’t work for a cough.

I’ve tried many of these things and they help

Here are a few home remedies that I have

tried over the years and will help get you well again.

1. No cold drinks. Hot drinks like tea, hot water

with lemon and honey will help break up the mucus.

2. Stay out of drafts; don’t let even a fan blow

on your body.

3. Inhalers can be helpful. Even standing over a pot of

boiling water can help break up a stubborn cough,

but use caution not to get burnt.

4. Sleeping with an extra pillow can help the

mucus from draining and may help you get a good

night’s sleep.

5. Drink plenty of fluids I like lemon and water

it help cut the mucus.

6. Grapefruit juice is much better than orange

juice. I have tried this and it seems to work well.

Get a few organic grapefruits and slice in half

remove the seeds, loosen the pulp with a grapefruit

knife and pore some honey over the 2 half’s. Then

put on a baking pan and put in a 350 oven for 20

minutes and then put the oven on broil for 10

minutes and eat warm.

7. Take up to 2000mg of vitamin C every 4 hours.

8. Get as much sleep as you can.

All of these help but bottom line as soon as you’ve

cleared the cough get on a Qigong program to

strengthen your lungs.

I love doing the Flying Crane Qigong http://goo.gl/aH9GP6

It works the muscles, the internal organs and when

done regularly will keep you young and healthy .

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness.
