Abstract: Chronic cough, defined as a cough lasting more than eight weeks, can significantly reduce quality of life. Conventional therapies are not always effective and may cause side effects, prompting interest in complementary approaches. Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to soothe irritated airways, reduce inflammation, and promote mucus clearance. This article reviews the pharmacological properties of several herbs—such as licorice root, thyme, mullein, ginger, and peppermint—that have demonstrated potential in relieving chronic cough symptoms. In addition to exploring their mechanisms of action, we discuss recent scientific studies that support their use, as well as practical considerations for integrating herbal treatments into chronic cough management.
