Chest Cold Remedy Drink

Chest colds are the worst when you can’t breathe because the mucous won’t loosen up and your cough is dry. Thank God I havent been sick in years because of all the remedies I use but growing up with asthma I got them all the time. Make this simple broth for the kids or yourself when you start to feel the cold going into your lungs. Drinking this will help it to break up mucous and help to push the cold out of your system faster and relieve the pain in your chest from coughing. The oregano is a microbe fighting herb that will kill the virus or bacteria that is sitting in your lungs.
