Сough every day for a year - #19735

Sneha

I've been struggling with a dry cough every day for a year now. I'm 40 years old, and I don't smoke. It usually starts in the morning after I wake up and gets worse by the evening. I went to the doctor, had an X-ray a month ago, but they didn't find anything. The doctor said it might be stress-related, but the cough hasn't gone away, and it's really worrying me. How can I get rid of it?

Home remedies- Before bedtime, take warm milk with turmeric and honey. This works as a natural antibiotic. Consume turmeric powder mixed with honey three times a day. Licorice (Mulethi) lozenges to reduce inflammation. Use the decoction of Sauf (Ani seeds) as the base water to make coffee or tea. Sooth your infected throat pipe with natural cough syrup made by mixing ginger and honey. Boil a piece of ginger (peeled) in water. Filter and mix 1 tsp of honey and consume. You can even chew small pieces of ginger sprinkled with water for its anti-inflammatory properties Add a pinch of cinnamon powder in warm water or tea for relief from throat irritability Drink tea made of Tulsi (Basil leaves), ginger and honey You can chew Tulsi leaves throughout the day for faster recovery Application of oils and/or heat to the prana vaha srota (respiratory system). Eg. Sesame oil massaged into the chest followed by fomentation. Ghee is prepared using warm or moist expectorant herbs: Kantakari, vasaka, licorice and wild cherry bark.

Hi Sneha, Thank you for sharing your concerns. To better understand your condition, could you tell me if you experience any other symptoms such as dryness or irritation in your throat, body aches, or digestive issues? Also, do you feel more fatigued or anxious during the day, and what is your diet like?

Coughing like this can be super annoying and stressful, I feel you. Judging by what you're saying, since docs couldn't pinpoint anything specific, it might be a deeper imbalance in your body. From an Ayurveda perspective, I'd be thinking about Vata and Kapha, especially when a dry cough's involved. First off, let's talk about diet, yeah? Keep it warm and moist, which means staying away from dry, cold foods. Soups are your best friend. Like, literally. Something with ginger, garlic, and turmeric can do wonders. Turmeric milk at night might actually be soothing for the throat too. And, speaking of warming things up, stay clear of cold drinks—room temp water is much better. Then there's the role of stress, you mentioned the docs hinted at, right? This can weaponize Vata dosha, exacerbating that dry cough. Try abhyanga, or a self-massage with warm sesame oil. Morning times are ideal — it calms your system right at the start, you know? Oh and yeah, how's your gut? Keeping your agni, or digestive fire healthy, is key. Think of eating at the same time each day; your body loves that kind of consistency. Simple routines go a long way. Don't push yourself too hard though. If it's been a year, this should be checked out more if nothing changes soon. Pay attention to any other symptoms, like unexplained weight loss or something, and contact a healthcare professional again if concerned. Sometimes, taking a deeper look or even a second opinion never hurts. But from an Ayurveda angle, it's all about warming, nourishing, and calming — keep that in your daily grind, and it could just ease up.
