Croup Home Remedies and Natural Treatments

Homeopathic Croup Home Remedy

When your child gets croup from being exposed to temperature changes, the homeopathic home remedy Rumex Crispus is very useful.  Homeopathic remedies have no side effects and so they are excellent for children (adults too).

***

One of the best croup home remedies is to serve your child chicken broth with added orgegano, thyme and garlic.  This will aid in reducing inflammation in the throat and fighting any infection.  Be certain that your child is drinking enough liquids.  Avoid giving any sugar as sugar causes inflammation to get worse.

***

Vitamins

You will want to give your child vitamin C as this will help get rid of the infection.  Other supplements that are helpful for croup are vitamin E, A and zinc.  Don’t give too much zinc as it will impair the immune system. 

***

Cool Air Natural Treatment for Croup

The cool night air can help as a natural treatment for croup.  The air is moist and cool which is the best thing for stopping the attacks. 

***

Make a drink of freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey to sooth the throat.

***

When a croup attack begins, turn on the shower all the way hot and close the door.  The bathroom will steam up and then you can have your child breath the warm moist air until the attack passes.

***

Massage lobelia extract on the back, chest and throat to relax the muscles.  This is a good home remedy for croup.

***

Put a cloth that is damp and cold on the throat to reduce swelling.

Lobelia Home Remedy for Croup

Take a cup of water and put in lobelia extract to lessen the coughing, inflammation and pain.

***

My young one has attacks regularly.  Keep a cool type humidifier handy because it takes cool mist not warm mist to help.  Dry air causes the croup attack.  If you have no humidifier and a croup attack occurs and there is much labored breathing, then take your child to the emergency room.  They will be able to give a croup treatment for breathing.

***

My son also gets croup on a frequent basis.  I agree with the majority of the home remedies I have read.  Here is another good twist.  I work for an ear nose & throat doctor and he recommended putting my son on a chair, wrapped in a blanket, in front of the opened freezer door.  This seemed strange at first but it really works.  Now my son is six and when he gets the croup he goes right to the freezer.  That is a self administered natural treatment for croup!

***

I give my daughter those chewable vitamin A soft gels.  These coat his throat.  Then I make chamomile and peppermint tea to get him to loosen up and relax.  Then I will wrap him up good and take him outdoors if the temperature is low.  This works better than anything as good croup home remedy.

***

One of the best croup natural remedies is the give your child Ivy Cough Syrup which is soothing to the bronchial tubes.  If he gets up and is not able to breathe, I make a large bowl of hot water that is steaming and add eucalyptus oil to it.  This is very effective.  I also agree with having the humidifier and cool night air.
