What Is the Best Unani Medicine for Cough, and How Does It Work? - #12083

Anonymously

I’ve been struggling with a persistent cough, and I’m looking for a natural solution. What is the best Unani medicine for cough, and how does it work to relieve symptoms such as throat irritation, congestion, and persistent coughing? From my understanding, Unani medicine focuses on balancing the humors (blood, phlegm, bile, and black bile) in the body. How does Unani medicine treat coughs by balancing these humors and improving the body’s natural defense systems? What specific herbs or formulations are commonly used in Unani medicine for treating cough? I’ve heard about remedies involving Licorice, Honey, and Ginger. How do these ingredients help soothe the throat, reduce inflammation, and clear mucus from the airways? How should these Unani medicines be consumed? Should they be taken as a syrup, tablet, or tea for optimal effectiveness? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions to be aware of when using Unani medicine for cough, especially for children or people with allergies?

Unani medicine treats cough by restoring the balance of the body’s humors—blood, phlegm, bile, and black bile. When phlegm (Balgham) is in excess, it can lead to respiratory issues like a persistent cough. Unani remedies work by addressing this imbalance and supporting the body's natural defenses. Herbs like Licorice (Mulethi), Ginger (Adrak), and Honey are commonly used in Unani medicine. Licorice is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm the throat and reduce irritation. Ginger helps to clear mucus from the airways, while honey acts as a natural humectant, providing moisture and soothing the throat. These remedies are typically consumed as syrups, teas, or tablets, depending on the formulation. For maximum effectiveness, they should be taken as directed, often in combination for synergistic benefits. However, caution is needed for individuals with allergies or those who are diabetic, as honey can elevate blood sugar levels. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before using Unani remedies, especially for children or those with underlying health conditions.
