What Is the Best Remedy for Dry Cough? - #11095
Dry cough can be incredibly annoying and persistent, often making it difficult to sleep or concentrate. While medications help, I prefer natural solutions. What is the best remedy for dry cough, and how can it be effectively used at home? One popular remedy I’ve heard of is honey and ginger juice. Honey is said to coat the throat and reduce irritation, while ginger helps with inflammation. Should this be taken warm, and how frequently can it be consumed in a day? Another recommendation is turmeric milk (haldi doodh), which is said to soothe the throat and reduce coughing due to its antimicrobial properties. Should it always be consumed at night, and can adding black pepper enhance its effects? For immediate relief, steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil or tulsi leaves is often suggested. Does this help loosen mucus and reduce throat dryness? How often should this be done, and are there any risks involved? I’ve also read about herbal teas made with mulethi, cinnamon, and cloves. Are there specific recipes that work best for persistent dry coughs, and should they be consumed on an empty stomach? If anyone has tried natural remedies for dry cough, I’d love to hear your tips. What worked best for you, and how quickly did you notice relief?
