Doctors’ responses

For lung cancer-related dry cough, Ayurveda may help alleviate symptoms: - **Sitopaladi Churna**: 1 tsp with honey, 2-3 times daily for cough relief. - **Yashtimadhu (Licorice Root)**: 500 mg with honey twice daily to soothe the respiratory tract. - **Tulsi Tea**: Drink 2-3 times daily to ease breathing. Avoid cold foods, oily greasy processed foods and dairy until cough reduces. Do gentle chest fomentation with a hot towel everyday.

For your grandfather with lung cancer and a persistent dry cough, it's essential to provide supportive care alongside any medical treatment. In Ayurveda, soothing the lungs and alleviating cough can be approached through specific herbs and dietary practices. Turmeric (Curcuma longa), known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can be beneficial. Mixing half a teaspoon of turmeric powder in warm milk and consuming it daily may help. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is another excellent herb for managing cough; ginger tea, made by boiling fresh ginger slices in water, can provide relief. Additionally, Tulsi (Holy Basil) is known for its expectorant properties; drinking Tulsi tea may help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. Ensuring proper hydration is also crucial, as it helps thin mucus and eases the cough. Incorporating steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil can provide comfort and ease breathing. It's essential to monitor his symptoms closely and consult with his healthcare provider regarding any treatment modifications. Could you provide more details about his overall health, any other symptoms, and current medications?
