After a hefty allergic reaction recently, I was informed that most people can actually quadruple a standard OTC dose of allergy medicine. This helps dry up the mucus membranes. And exercise....even just walking can help you cough all the "crap" out. Then the little endorphins help you feel better and you'll sleep deeper too.

I use ordinary Organic Chicken broth any brand and make a tea with it. I add as much fresh garlic in whole cloves as I can to 1 qt of broth (a whole head is great). Then add a big couple of fingers of ginger peeled and julienned. I add a chopped onion, fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and cayenne. I let it steep about 20-30 minutes at a very slow simmer, then strain and drink as a tea. All of those things are mucalytics. You can eat the garlic and ginger if you like! :D It will open me up when nothing else will. Hope you feel better!
