hi yes its a great old fashioned way but some of these were so good and they work. also try taking fresh garlic a couple of times a day this is really good for your chest helps break down mucus you can either just chop it down small or chopped down fine and take in olive oil just wash down with water some just before bed is really good for you if you sleep with a partner they may not like it tell them not to worry they can have when they get a chesty cough. hope this helps you. good luck
is steaming with eucalyptus benifical when you have a chest cold?
