Home Remedies for Cough
The air passages of the lungs are lined with cells secreting mucus, which normally traps
particles of dust When the membranes get infected and inflamed, the secretion of mucus
increases and the lining of the air passages is irritated. Coughing is the action by which
excess mucus is driven out.
A person who is going to cough first draws a deep breath in. This action causes his
glottis to dose and his muscles to contract, thus building up pressure in the chest Then
suddenly, the glottis opens, an explosive discharge of air sweeps through the air
passages and carries with it the excess secretions or, in some cases, foreign matter,
which has irritated the larynx, trachea, or bronchi.
A cough may be caused by inflammation of the larynx or the pharynx. A cough can
develop in the chest due to change in weather or seasonal changes. The real cause of
this disorder, however, is clogging of the bronchial tubes with waste matter. This is due
to wrong feeding habits. The reason for higher incidence of cough during winter than in
other seasons is that an average person usually eats more of catarrh-forming foods such
as white bread, meat, sugar, porridge, puddings, and pies during the colder months of
the year. Being over clothed with heavy undergarments and other garments during this
period also prevents proper aeration of the skin.
