The Oregano

I have a cough suffer for almost a month maybe because of weather changed.I get tired taking medicine.My throat itches and I am coughing all day.It's not my attitude to visit the doctor just for cough .The neighbor told me that Oregano ( in Tagalog) or Clavo ( in Visaya/Cebu) is good for cough.She handed me oregano leaves. She told me to extract and drink the juice every morning and before going to bed.For one week my cough disappear.Another, is decoction of two tablespoon of dried leaves to a pint of boiling water taken one hour before and after meal relieve my sore throat too.Thanks it help and save me in buying meds!
