How Does Mulethi Help in Treating Dry Cough? - #11814

Anonymously

I have been suffering from a dry cough for a few days, and I don’t want to take chemical-based syrups. I recently heard that Mulethi (Licorice Root) is an effective Ayurvedic remedy for cough relief. But I want to understand—how does Mulethi help in treating dry cough, and what is the best way to use it? One of the most common recommendations I found is chewing a small piece of Mulethi root to soothe the throat and reduce irritation. Some people say that sucking on Mulethi helps in coating the throat and reducing inflammation. How long should it be chewed for the best results? I also read that Mulethi tea is an effective remedy for dry cough. Many sources suggest boiling Mulethi powder in water along with honey, ginger, and Tulsi leaves for better relief. Has anyone tried this? How many times a day should it be taken? Another popular method is using Mulethi powder with honey. Some people mix ½ teaspoon of Mulethi powder with warm honey and take it before sleeping to relieve nighttime coughing. Does this work instantly, or does it take a few days to show results? I also read that Mulethi is beneficial for singers and people who strain their voice. Some Ayurveda practitioners recommend Mulethi-infused water for gargling to treat hoarseness and throat irritation. Is this method effective for people who frequently experience voice strain? Lastly, are there any side effects of consuming too much Mulethi? Some sources say that excessive consumption can lead to high blood pressure and water retention. What is the safe daily dosage for dry cough relief? If anyone has used Mulethi for dry cough, please share your experience! I’d love to know the best natural remedies for quick and effective relief.

Mulethi (Licorice Root) is indeed an effective Ayurvedic remedy for dry cough due to its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties. Here’s how you can use it for relief: Chewing Mulethi: Chewing a small piece of Mulethi root helps coat the throat and reduce irritation. Chew it for about 10-15 minutes, a few times a day, to ease throat inflammation. Mulethi Tea: For dry cough, Mulethi tea is effective. Boil ½ teaspoon of Mulethi powder with water, and add ginger, honey, and Tulsi leaves. Drink it 2-3 times a day for soothing relief. Mulethi with Honey: Mixing ½ teaspoon of Mulethi powder with warm honey and consuming it before bedtime is a great remedy for nighttime coughing. It takes a few days to show full results, but it works well over time. Mulethi Gargle: For singers or people with voice strain, gargling with Mulethi-infused water can help soothe the throat and reduce hoarseness. It's effective for frequent voice strain. Precautions: Mulethi should be consumed in moderation. Excessive use can lead to high blood pressure and water retention. The safe dosage is 1-2 teaspoons per day, and it’s best to avoid using it long-term unless prescribed by a healthcare practitioner. Mulethi is a great, natural remedy, but always consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
