On cough remedy ...

Cough remedy .. anyone ? This was from one of the junk mails sent ... anyone tried and verify if it works ?

It works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why. To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then> cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and> calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

An adult friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt> like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, ( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.So, if you have kids/grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try yourself and you will be
absolutely amazed.

I havent tried the Vicks remedy, but my mom had a lot of traditional remedy which works

1. Orange

Cut off the top of the orange, and place a few sugar rocks inside the orange. Put the orange cover back. Steam the orange for half and hour. Then eat the meat of the orange and the juice inside.

2. Bird's nest

This is usually the last resort coz it is pretty expensive. But it works too.

3. Cordyceps

Boil cordyceps with red dates and water. Drink the water.
