@diatzk: I remember my dad saying that the vast majority of prescription drugs and over-the-counter meds were designed to only treat specific symptoms and not the actual illnesses/diseases themselves. Considering how pharmaceutical products have only worked in the short term in my experience, I personally feel like there might be seem some truth to that.

You’re very welcome! I’m not sure about coughs, but there’s a concoction that my mom makes that can help boost your immune system. All you need to make it is a small teaspoon of honey, a shot glass half full of water, and a few drops of doTERRA’s ‘On Guard’ oil. The ‘On Guard’ itself is basically a mix of essential oils from cloves, eucalyptus, rosemary, cinnamon bark, and wild oranges. I believe it’s best to take it at night before you go to bed, so your body can properly absorb and make use of it.
