Ayurvedic For Dry Cough - #7226
I’ve been struggling with a dry cough for a few weeks now, and nothing I try seems to provide lasting relief. It’s especially worse at night, making it hard to sleep. I recently read about Ayurvedic remedies for dry cough and want to know if they can help. From what I’ve learned, Ayurveda treats dry cough by addressing dosha imbalances, particularly Vata. What are the most effective Ayurvedic remedies for dry cough? I’ve heard of Tulsi, Yashtimadhu (licorice), and ginger being used for cough relief. How should these herbs be prepared and consumed—for example, as teas, syrups, or in powdered form? I’ve also come across remedies like warm honey with black pepper or turmeric milk. Are these safe for long-term use, and how often should they be taken to soothe the throat? Does Ayurveda recommend specific lifestyle changes for managing dry cough? For instance, should I avoid cold foods and drinks, or are there practices like steam inhalation that can help? I’ve also read about gargling with herbal water—how effective is this for throat irritation and dryness?
