Dry cough remedies
1.Onion
Yes, you can treat cough successfully using onion, both in syrup and tea form. For the tea, boil the onion and add half a lemon, a few mint leaves and a little honey. Ideally, you should consume four cups of onion tea per day. If you opt for onion syrup, you should know that it also helps to decongest the airways, but it also reduces fever and fights dry cough.
2. Black radish
Whether the cough that bothers you is dry or productive (with expectoration), black radish is the answer to your problem. You can buy black radish syrup from health food stores, but you can also make it at home. Cut the leaves and in the remaining hollow, add a few spoons of honey and leave to macerate overnight. From the next day, you can start taking 3-6 teaspoons, preferably between meals.
3.Thyme
Thyme is an herb believed to relieve smooth muscle spasms, including those caused by coughing. An older study, published in the German journal Drug Research, found that a combination treatment of thyme and ivy relieved cough and other symptoms of acute bronchitis. To soothe a cough, thyme can be consumed as a tincture, tea or in pill form.
4.Horseradish
The cold season is one of the biggest enemies of the immune system, but many specialists recommend horseradish as a natural antibiotic and an important source of calcium, magnesium and vitamin C. All of these are effective in the fight against staphylococci and streptococci, but also have expectorant properties . To calm the cough, the best method is to consume grated horseradish root, mixed with bee honey.
5.Lemon
Many doctors agree that the best home remedy for cough is lemon and honey syrup. For example, you can mix the juice of one or two lemons with two or three teaspoons of honey. The resulting syrup has soothing, but at the same time disinfectant properties, but be careful not to eat anything for at least 30 minutes after taking the syrup.
6.Plantain
Plantain leaves are known for their emollient, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, so you can rely on this plant for coughs, but plantain uses also extend to laryngitis, pharyngitis or colds. As for administration, plantain can be consumed in powder form after meals, as an infusion or as a syrup.
