3. Lavender
Lavender can be found in many gardens throughout the world, and it’s one of the best herbs you can include in your routine if you want to take something to relax. Relaxation is something that your body is going to be desperately in need of when you’re battling a bout of whooping cough, especially when it comes to muscles that have tensed up as a result of the constant coughing.
Lavender can sometimes be used in food, but the best way to consume it when you’re sick is to brew it into a tea – or to add some lavender to an existing tea brew that you like. Essential oils can also be found and used for massage, but remember that most essential oils are not made to be consumed or added to foods – so don’t!
The other natural means mentioned in this article can also help to complement the effect of lavender tea, including cinnamon.
