What is the best desi medicine for cough? - #10763
I’ve been struggling with a persistent cough and want to try a natural approach instead of over-the-counter medicines. What is the best desi medicine for cough that provides quick relief without side effects? I’ve read that honey mixed with ginger juice is a traditional remedy for soothing the throat and reducing coughing fits. How effective is it, and how often should it be consumed? Another popular desi remedy is using tulsi (holy basil) leaves boiled in water with black pepper. Does this work better for dry cough or wet cough, and is it safe for daily use? I’ve also heard about using mulethi (licorice root) for cough relief. Can it be chewed directly, or is it more effective as a tea or syrup? If anyone has experience with desi cough remedies, I’d love to know what worked for you. How quickly did you see results, and are there any precautions to keep in mind while using these remedies?
