Is Ghee Bad For Cough - #5508
I’ve been dealing with a persistent cough for the past couple of weeks and have been searching for natural remedies to help soothe my throat. I’ve heard mixed opinions about using ghee – some people recommend it for its soothing properties, while others question is ghee bad for cough, especially in cases involving phlegm. Why do some sources say is ghee bad for cough, and does it depend on the type of cough? I understand that ghee can be beneficial for dry coughs, but could it worsen a wet or phlegmy cough? Should it be avoided completely during certain types of respiratory issues? Another thing I’d like to know is whether the way ghee is prepared or consumed makes a difference. For instance, I’ve seen recipes where ghee is mixed with turmeric or ginger. Does this reduce concerns about is ghee bad for cough, or are there still potential risks involved? I’m also curious if there are specific guidelines for using ghee during a cough. Should it only be consumed in small amounts, or are there better ways to use it, like adding it to warm milk or applying it externally?
