What are the best homemade medicines for cough and throat relief? - #12630
I’ve been struggling with a persistent cough for a few days, and I prefer using home-made medicine for cough rather than store-bought syrups. I’ve tried honey and ginger tea, but it hasn’t been very effective. Can anyone share some of the best home-made remedies for cough that actually work? I’ve heard that Tulsi, Black Pepper, and Ginger are great for treating coughs. How can I prepare a simple yet effective remedy using these ingredients? Should I make a decoction or just brew them into a tea? Also, does lemon mixed with honey help with a dry cough? I’ve heard people recommend it for soothing the throat, but I’m not sure how often I should take it. Are there other ingredients that can be added to these remedies for quicker relief? If anyone has used home-made medicine for cough successfully, please share your recipe! How long did it take to notice results, and did it help with both dry and wet coughs?
