What Is the Best Continuous Khasi Remedy, and How Does It Help Alleviate Cough?

Question

I’ve been dealing with a continuous khasi (cough) that just doesn’t seem to go away, and I’m looking for effective remedies. What is the best continuous khasi remedy, and how does it work to alleviate a persistent cough and soothe the throat?

From what I understand, natural remedies like Tulsi, Ginger, and Honey are commonly recommended. How do these ingredients work to reduce irritation, fight infections, and improve respiratory health?

How should these remedies be used for long-term relief? Should Tulsi be consumed in a tea form, honey mixed with warm water, or ginger in its fresh form?

I’ve also heard that steam inhalation and saltwater gargles can provide relief. How often should these be done, and how do they help clear mucus and reduce coughing over time?

Lastly, are there any lifestyle changes or dietary practices that can help prevent continuous khasi from recurring?

Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

To treat a continuous khasi (persistent cough), a combination of Ayurvedic remedies can be highly effective in soothing the throat, reducing irritation, and addressing the root causes. Tulsi (holy basil) is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which help fight infections and ease throat irritation. It can be consumed as a tea or in the form of a decoction, providing long-term relief by boosting immunity. Ginger is another powerful remedy; its anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties help break down mucus, calm the throat, and reduce coughing. Fresh ginger can be chewed or used in tea. Honey, with its soothing and antimicrobial qualities, works well when mixed with warm water or consumed on its own, coating the throat and reducing irritation. For additional relief, steam inhalation with essential oils like eucalyptus helps open up the airways and clear mucus, while saltwater gargles soothe the throat and help clear infection. These can be done 2-3 times a day. Lifestyle changes like staying hydrated, avoiding cold or dry air, and incorporating foods that support the respiratory system (such as warm, light, and anti-inflammatory foods) can prevent the recurrence of a cough. Regular practice of gentle Pranayama (breathing exercises) and maintaining a balanced diet will also help strengthen the respiratory system and reduce the chances of future infections.
