What are the best dry cough herbal leaves for cough relief? - #10788
I’ve been struggling with a dry cough and want to explore natural remedies. What are the best dry cough herbal leaves for cough relief that are easy to use and effective? One of the most commonly mentioned herbs is tulsi (holy basil). Tulsi leaves are said to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Does drinking tulsi tea or chewing fresh leaves help reduce dry cough, and how often should it be done? Another herb I’ve read about is mint (pudina). Mint leaves are known for their cooling effect and ability to soothe the throat. Does mint tea work better for cough relief, or is it more effective to use mint in steam inhalation? I’ve also heard about bay leaves (tej patta) being used in traditional remedies for respiratory issues. Can boiling bay leaves in water and drinking the decoction help with dry cough, and are there any specific dosages to follow? If anyone has tried herbal leaves for dry cough relief, I’d love to know which ones worked best for you and how quickly you experienced relief.
