The cause of most coughs is easy to pinpoint: Colds, flu, allergies, dry air. How to get rid of them? Not so much. Most people reach for over-the-counter meds, yet studies have shown that cough medicines don’t really do any good.

According to guidelines released by the American College of Chest Physicians, many popular remedies (ahem, Robitussin and Mucinex) won’t tackle that tickle, which means you'll still be saddled with that cough, as well as the medications' side effects, which can include nausea, headache, constipation, and drowsiness. Does that sound like a good scenario to you? Yeah, we thought not.

Instead, reach for an essential oil.
