A cough has been a common problem in my family and I used to treat it with just ginger wraps. The procedure consists of heating a spoon of ginger powder in about 2 cups of water. Then you have to soak a cotton towel (the old one, I recommend) in this mixture and apply on your chest as hot as you can bear. Cover it with a sheet of film to avoid soaking your pyjamas and at best jump into bed. Leave it for a couple of hours and you should be relieved from a cough and a cold in general.
Today I`ve found the article which presents another way of fighting with a chest infection - and those wraps seem to be more advanced method than my old one. Let`s try them if anybody suffers from a cough and leave your comment below that this cure worked for you.

Here is the article:
(...)A constant cough can also interrupt your sleep. Coughs are pretty common among young children since they are not able to fight colds and the flu as their immune system is too weak.
When you have a cough, doctors prescribe cough syrups and medicines, as these are considered as the best ways to treat a cough. However, these pharmaceutical remedies can cause serious problems, such as long-term complications and negative side effects, which is especially worrying for parents of small children.
The most common negative side effects that are caused by taking cough syrups and medicines are migraines, sleeplessness and headaches. This happens as the most common ingredients in almost all cough syrups are codeine and dextromethorphan.
You are probably not aware of these ingredients and the negative side effects and complications they can cause.
You must know that the natural remedies, especially those which contain potent ingredients such as honey, are far more beneficial, safe and effective. The following recipe with honey and ginger wrap will solve a chronic cough almost immediately.
The recipe
Needed ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon of ginger powder or fresh ginger
• Honey
• Flour
• Olive oil
• Gauze
• Adhesive tape
• Napkins
• Honey
• Flour
• Olive oil
• Gauze
• Adhesive tape
• Napkins
How to prepare the ginger wraps
• First, you need to mix the flour and the raw honey.
• Then, add the olive oil and the ginger. Mix all the ingredients well.
• Put the mixture on the napkins and wrap them up with a gauze.
• Fix the napkin wraps on the back or the chest by using an adhesive tape.
If you are preparing the ginger wrap remedy for your child, let your child hold the wrap on the chest for 3 hours before going to sleep.
The wraps may remain on adults’ backs or chest through the night. You should be aware that these wraps cause sweating.
There are no negative side effects or complications of using the ginger wraps. However, you must be careful when you use them on your children, as children’s skin is more sensitive and delicate.

Real experience
One mother tried to use the ginger wrap recipe on her child. The results were incredible. This mother also modified the recipe a bit. Instead of napkins and gauze, this woman used aluminium foil. She also replaced the olive oil with coconut oil but kept the ginger and the honey.
This mother shared her experience of her Facebook profile. Her child always coughed at night, probably two hours before going to bed. However, the results were incredible when she started using the ginger wraps.
The constant coughing was completely gone and her child was feeling well. The congestion disappeared completely. The child was relieved from the coughs and congestion after only four hours.
Honey and ginger are well known natural remedies that have been used for the treatment of many different health problems.
