Relaxing Remedies
DEGREE 1 – Very Gentle Relaxing
((Lightly calm airway irritation without suppressing normal breathing reflexes.)
Very gentle relaxing remedies are usually recommended for mild airway irritation and occasional cough.
Symptoms look like a tickle in the throat, occasional dry cough, mild chest tightness, slight throat dryness, coughing when talking or laughing, mild breathing discomfort during colds, and feeling better with warm drinks, steam, or calm breathing.
DEGREE 2 – Gentle / Moderate Relaxing
(Calm bronchial tension and reduce overactive coughing.)
Gentle relaxing remedies are usually recommended for irritated airways that trigger repeated coughing.
Symptoms look like coughing fits that come in waves, throat irritation that worsens with talking, nighttime cough, mild wheezing, chest tightness during respiratory infections, and breathing that feels easier with warm humid air or soothing teas.
DEGREE 3 – Strong Relaxing
(Release bronchial spasm and calm persistent coughing.)
Strong relaxing remedies are usually recommended for spasmodic cough and significant airway tension.
Symptoms look like persistant coughing that feels uncontrollable, tight or constricted breathing, wheezing, chest muscles tightening during cough fits, coughing triggered by deep breaths, and short periods where breathing feels restricted until the spasm passes.
DEGREE 4 – Very Strong Relaxing
(Rapidly reduce severe bronchial spasm and airway constriction.)
Very strong relaxing remedies are usually recommended for intense bronchial spasm or severe airway irritation.
Symptoms look like severe coughing fits that interrupt breathing, strong wheezing, chest constriction that makes breathing difficult, repeated coughing that exhausts the person, and breathing that improves only after the airway muscles relax.
