How to Control Dry Cough Naturally? - #11838

Anonymous

I have been suffering from a persistent dry cough, and I don’t want to take chemical-based cough syrups. I’m looking for the best natural ways to control dry cough without side effects. One of the most common remedies I read about is honey and ginger. Many sources say that drinking a mix of honey, ginger juice, and warm water helps soothe the throat. Has anyone tried this, and how quickly does it work? I also found that turmeric milk (haldi doodh) is an effective natural remedy for dry cough and throat irritation. Some people add black pepper or cinnamon for extra benefits. What is the best way to prepare turmeric milk for cough relief? Another interesting remedy is chewing Mulethi (licorice root). Some sources say that keeping a small piece of Mulethi in the mouth helps reduce cough frequency. Does this work instantly, or should it be taken regularly for long-term relief? I also read that steam inhalation with essential oils like eucalyptus or carom seeds (ajwain) helps open up the airways and reduces throat dryness. How often should steam therapy be done for effective results? Lastly, are there any foods or drinks that should be avoided while suffering from a dry cough? Some sources say that cold drinks, fried foods, and dairy products worsen the condition, while others recommend herbal teas and soups. What dietary changes help in faster recovery? If anyone has successfully controlled dry cough naturally, please share your experience! I’d love to know the best home remedies for quick relief.

Doctors’ responses

For natural relief from a dry cough, here are some effective remedies: Honey and Ginger Juice: Mixing 1 teaspoon of honey with a few drops of ginger juice soothes the throat. Take this before bed for better sleep or throughout the day for continuous relief. Turmeric Milk (Haldi Doodh): Drinking warm milk with turmeric and black pepper helps reduce inflammation and irritation. It may take 1-2 days of regular use to see improvement. Mulethi (Licorice Root): Chewing a small piece of mulethi can provide instant relief by soothing the throat. It may need to be taken for a few days for longer-term effects. Steam Inhalation: Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil or ajwain can help loosen mucus and ease throat irritation. Inhale steam for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times a day. Dietary Changes: Avoid cold drinks, fried foods, and dairy, as they can worsen coughing. Warm herbal teas, soups, and soft foods are ideal for promoting healing.
