slippery elm<\/a>. Slippery elm is excellent for reducing symptoms of inflammation associated with a dry cough. This traditional remedy gained popularity with Native Americans. They would harvest the bark of the slippery elm tree and boil it down into a thick syrup. Slippery elm also has similar effects to marshmallow root as it contains high levels of mucilage.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe mucilage coats the lining of the throat, helping to provide relief from the itching feeling of a dry cough. Slippery elm is readily available from your favorite online health retailer as a tonic. We recommend that you gargle with the tonic at least two to three times a day to experience relief from your symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also purchase tea from online health retailers. Add one teaspoon of the dried herb tea to a cup of hot water, and let it steep for 10-minutes. Drink the tea as warm as you can and repeat this treatment three times throughout the day for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
