An important part of choosing the correct homeopathic remedy for a cough is identifying the type of cough you are treating. Below are 8 of the remedies that are my go-to’s to help your family heal naturally! If you didn’t know this:

• A wet cough will produce phlegm. It may feel like something is stuck in your throat and may cause a wheezing or rattling sound.

• A dry cough will not produce phlegm. It may have a barking or rough sound.

It can be tricky to find the correct remedy. If you don’t see improvement in symptoms after 30 minutes or less, repeat the dose; if improvement doesn’t occur after two doses, switch remedies. An extra remedy I did not list is, Ipecacuanha, which is good for hacking coughs that result in vomiting. These coughs can cause choking, are dry and irritating and come on in fits. Infants and toddlers whose coughs cause them to vomit often do well with this remedy.
