how to eat mulethi - #44395
I am really struggling with this cough that just won’t go away!! A friend mentioned mulethi and how to eat mulethi can help with respiratory issues, so I gave it a shot, but honestly, I'm a little lost here. I tried just chewing on the sticks, but the taste was kinda overwhelming. I’ve read that it’s supposed to be sweet, right? But mine tasted more like... I don’t know, just weird. Last week, I even made some mulethi tea, thinking that might help, but I might’ve messed it up or something because it didn’t do much. Should I be mixing it with honey or adding something else? Also, is there a specific time to take it? Like, morning or evening? I've heard different things. I talked to my mom about how to eat mulethi, and she suggested boiling it with ginger and lemon. Sounds too complicated for lazy me, lol. But will that actually work?? I just want to know the best way to eat mulethi without making a fuss. Any tips or recipes? I really need to clear this cough up before the holidays! Thanks in advance!!

Mulethi, also known as licorice root, is indeed highly valued in Ayurveda for its soothing properties on the throat and for providing respiratory relief. If the taste of raw mulethi sticks is too intense, consider preparing it in a way that’s both effective and more pleasant. To achieve the best results, mulethi can be consumed as a simple tea or with additional ingredients that enhance its benefits.
For a basic mulethi tea, take a small piece of mulethi, about 2-3 inches, and gently crush it. Boil it in 2 cups of water on a low flame until it reduces to about half. The flavor should mellow out as it boils. If the plain brew feels too bland or odd, adding a teaspoon of honey can sweeten the taste naturally and enhance its soothing effect on the throat. Another option is to add a few thin slices of fresh ginger while boiling; ginger’s warming nature complements mulethi in easing respiratory issues.
Taking mulethi tea in the evening is generally recommended, as it can help ease symptoms overnight, aiding restful sleep. However, you could consume it twice a day if needed. Just be cautious not to exceed recommended amounts, as overconsumption can lead to undesired effects such as elevated blood pressure.
Boiling mulethi with lemon and ginger may seem a bit tedious, but it’s indeed effective. The lemon adds an invigorating citrus note and additional vitamin C, bolstering your immune response.
As for timing, ideally have it during early evening, so it has some time to work its magic before bedtime. If consistent coughing persists despite these efforts, it may be wise to consult a healthcare professional, as persistent cough sometimes indicates underlying health issues that require more formal medical attention.
Just a quick note: ensure to check any potential interactions between mulethi and medications you might currently be taking, especially if you have specific health conditions like high blood pressure.
