My wife has a debilitating cough. Does anyone know of a natural cure for this condition?

Question:

My wife has had a debilitating cough for the past 5 years. She does not smoke and eats a healthy diet. The medical profession's tests are unable to give a reason for it and offer no cure. My wife will not take drugs of any kind, but is very keen to find a natural cure. If you have any idea of an answer to this question, please help, even the smallest clue could be the answer we are looking for. We are desperate to be free from this condition. Thank you.

They are less expensive than other alternative forms of medicine.

This could be accompanied due to an infection of the lungs, causing a secretion of mucous. Some home remedies that can be used are:

i. Boil water. Add a dash of cinnamon, a little piece of ginger, 1 tsp honey and drink.

ii. Heat water with 2 tsp of lemon juice and 2 tsp of honey and sip.

iii. Heat one glass of water, add a tsp of salt and gargle. Be careful not to swallow the water as it may make you feel like throwing up.

iv. Take 1 tsp fresh ginger juice, ½ tsp honey and a pinch of turmeric. Swallow this mixture at least three times a day.

v. Heat ½ glass milk, add less than ¼ tsp of turmeric and sugar. Drink while warm.

vi. Pour one cup of boiling water over a piece of ginger, ½ tsp ground cloves and ½ tsp cinnamon. Filter it, sweeten with honey and have it sip by sip. This helps when there is mucus in the cough.

vii. Add ½ a raw onion, 2 cloves, 4-5 mint leaves, 2-3 black peppercorns and a small stick of cinnamon to a glass of water. Boil it thoroughly, strain and have while it is still warm. To reduce the spicy taste, you could add 1 tsp of honey.

viii. Avoid milk and milk products if you have excess mucous secretion for one month.
