Luckily, you can try some simple home remedies and acupoint techniques to find relief fast, without medicine.

3 Effective Acupoints for Stopping a Cough
- Taiyuan (LU9): On the wrist near the thumb, massaging this point helps your lungs work better and reduces coughing.
- Lieque (LU7): Located 1.5 inches above the wrist on the thumb side, pressing this point loosens mucus and calms coughs.
