There are many types of cough like dry, phlegm, whooping cough, black cough etc. Treatment of wet cough has been described in Atharvaveda. It has also been told that for dry cough, sea foam is the best medicine and for wet cough, determination of mind, sandy soil and sea foam are the best medicines.

Wet cough goes away by living in a forest or mountain.

It has been told about whooping cough that there is a lot of pain while coughing. Where phlegm is accumulated, there is more pain, the mind should be concentrated on that place. When the mind is concentrated and the place of pain comes under the grasp of the mind, then a resolution should be made to loosen the phlegm accumulated at that place and push it out. It is said that the mind is the electrical energy inside the body, it melts the frozen phlegm and swelling, loosens it and throws it out. This type of treatment is called Kash-Rog treatment.
