The bay berry (myrica nagi) is a good cure for throat congestions and coughs caused due to chronic bronchitis. The fruit of the belleric myroblan is very effective in treating coughs caused due to catarrh. Another effective treatment is the betel leaves, which is crushed and made into a paste with water and then applied on the chest. Fenugreek seeds are also effective in treating coughs associated with sore throats.
