How to Control Dry Cough Naturally? - #11838
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.
