Simple Chinese cough medicine

I have been coughing for a long time and doctors are not sure what is causing the problem. They have definitely rule out TB and asthma as the cause thought a series of test and x-ray. My Respiratory specialist has been prescribing different prescription to see if that would help but so far it hasn’t. However, at my church cell group meeting for my fellowship a sister told me to try this Chinese herbal recipe to see if it helps. I have tried it twice and have found it somewhat helpful in reducing the cough but not the cure yet. So I am sharing this to all who check out this blog.
