Hi welcome to Stressed Out Stress Free Dot com My name is Vincent Woon. In this video
I’m going to share with you on how to control or how to take care of dry cough and also
coughing.
What causes dry cough? It could be you haven’t drank a lot or enough water and sometime your
throat just drieds off! It’s a really pain in the butt because it comes all of a sudden
and it attacks you and you have no control over it.
So what do you do? Let’s see what happens when you cough. Let’s pretend this is your
lungs that’s the muscles of your lungs, when you cough! “ergher” “ergher”
“ergher” “ergher” so when you cough this way your muscles contract and what happens
is it tighten up the muscles. So it tightens up the muscles around the chest area and also
your rib and it tightens the ribs, let’s pretend this is the ribs and it tightens the
muscles in between the ribs…what we call the intercostal muscle
What do you do after that?
When all of a sudden your throat becomes dry. First hinge you need to do is to grab a cup
of water. If you do not have access to the water you can start rubbing your chest area.
What happens is it helps loosen up muscles on the chest and it will slow down the coughing
and if you have been coughing for awhile probably one or two days, what you need to do or can
do…when you start coughing is to rub the muscles in between the ribs like such.
Find the rib cage and go into the muscles in the middle of the ribs like this. Let’s
say the muscle is here go in between the ribs to loosen up the muscle or you can do it this
way too …in between the ribs but into the muscle. When you do that it loosen up the
muscle when you loosen up the muscle your lungs actually move back to the normal position
and it loosen up the whole chest area and that helps reduce the coughing.
This what I do when I have a dry spell or when I start coughing. If you like this video
