Chest cold meds in natural health focus on easing congestion, soothing coughs, and enhancing immunity. Warm fluids like elderberry tea or broth thin mucus, while steam inhalation with rosemary oil opens airways. Honey calms coughs and fights bacteria, and zinc-rich foods like pumpkin seeds support immune response. A humidifier prevents airway dryness, and adequate rest promotes healing. These methods reduce symptoms, promote mucus expulsion, and strengthen the body’s defenses, offering a holistic alternative to conventional medications with fewer side effects.
