> My mother gets a horrible bronchial cough every year about now. It makes her insane and the doctors can do nothing about it I guess. She takes cough drops alot but it never helps. I wish I could help her so I come to you all for some herbal help. It's just a really bad hoarse cough. My mom's a librarian so you could imagine the problems... <SHHHHH! ... COUGH! COUGH!>

Have you tried the onion poultice?
Slice the onions and place them in a cheesecloth or hanky and them wrap around the throat. Replace with fresh sliced onions every 2 hours if the cough is severe. The action of the onions is that they absord the toxins from the body. Let me know of any improvement.
