Try the following home remedies to relieve chest cold -
- Take steam from boiling water (add carom seeds or vaporizer in the water before it starts boiling). This is a very effective remedy to ease chest cold. Do this 3-4 times a day especially before going to bed for instant relief.
- Try and remove the mucus from your nose to ease your condition.
- Drink warm turmeric milk, turmeric has antiseptic properties which will help to control cold and congestion. Add ½ tsp turmeric powder and ¼ tsp salt in a cup of milk and boil it. If you like sweet taste you can add honey instead of salt and sugar.
- Keep yourself well hydrated. Drink lots of water (preferably warm), sip hot liquids (vegetable soups/chicken broths).
- On the humidifier in your room at night before going to bed. This will help ease cold and relax your night sleep.
