What Is the Best Desi Ilaj for Cough That Gives Fast and Long-Term Relief? - #11464

I have been dealing with a persistent cough for the past few weeks, and nothing seems to be helping. At first, it was a mild irritation in my throat, but now it has become more severe, especially at night. I have tried regular cough syrups, but they only provide temporary relief. I am looking for a natural desi ilaj for cough that actually works and provides lasting relief. I know that in India, there are many traditional remedies for cough using kitchen ingredients like honey, ginger, tulsi, and black pepper. But which ones are the most effective? Some people say that drinking warm water with turmeric helps, while others recommend chewing Mulethi (licorice root). What is the best desi ilaj for cough that can work quickly? I also want to know whether different remedies are required for dry and wet cough. Sometimes my cough is dry and itchy, and other times I feel mucus stuck in my throat. Do these conditions require different treatments, or is there one remedy that works for both? Another thing I have heard is that steam inhalation with essential oils can help. Does adding eucalyptus oil or cloves to steam actually work for a cough? How many times a day should it be done? I am also curious if diet plays a role in treating a cough. Are there specific foods that should be avoided? Some say milk increases mucus, while others say adding turmeric to warm milk helps. What does Ayurveda suggest? Additionally, I want to know if there are any special herbal teas that work as a desi ilaj for cough. Should I drink ginger tea, tulsi tea, or something else? If anyone here has successfully cured their cough using home remedies, please share what worked for you. How long did it take to get relief? Were there any side effects? I want to avoid taking antibiotics unnecessarily and prefer natural treatment. If you know any desi ilaj for cough that is tried and tested, please share!
