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