Chest cold medication alternatives in natural health focus on easing congestion, soothing coughs, and boosting immunity. Warm fluids like thyme tea or broth thin mucus, while steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil clears airways. Honey reduces coughs and fights bacteria, and zinc-rich foods like spinach support immune function. A humidifier prevents airway dryness, and adequate rest accelerates recovery. These remedies alleviate symptoms, promote mucus expulsion, and strengthen the body’s defenses, offering a holistic approach to chest cold relief without synthetic drugs.
