Ayurvedic Remedy For Cough - #6903
For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing a persistent cough that started after a mild cold. It’s mostly dry, though occasionally I feel a slight congestion in my chest. I’m looking for an Ayurvedic remedy for cough that can treat the root cause and not just suppress the symptoms. I’ve tried some home remedies like ginger tea and honey, but the relief is temporary. Does Ayurvedic remedy for cough offer a long-term solution, and are there specific herbs or formulations I should look for? I’ve heard that Tulsi, Mulethi, and Vasaka are commonly used—how effective are they, and in what forms should they be consumed? Another thing I want to understand is the role of diet. Does Ayurvedic remedy for cough involve avoiding certain foods, like cold drinks and spicy items, that could worsen the condition? Lastly, does Ayurveda recommend any lifestyle practices, such as steam inhalation or specific breathing exercises, as part of an Ayurvedic remedy for cough? How important are these in managing chronic coughs, and how long do they take to show results?
