Ah, the timeless symphony of coughs echoing through the halls of homes and offices alike. Fear not, dear reader, for in the realm of ancient healing lies a treasure trove of Natural Home remedies to silence even the most persistent coughing choirs.
From dry coughs that rival the Sahara to those accompanied by mucus that could moonlight as modern art, the ancient healing has concoctions that promise relief and perhaps a chuckle or two along the way. So, grab your chai, cozy up, and let's embark on a journey through the whimsical world of Cough-Curing Home Remedies.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, most coughs are caused by excess pitta or kapha in the bronchial tree, causing congestion and irritation of the bronchial mucous membrane. The basic strategy for managing this condition is to reduce or eliminate the congestion caused by such excess.
There are different types of coughs, namely Dry Coughs, Productive Coughs, and Chronic Coughs. Let's explore some simple Home Remedies that could assist in each manifestation.
Dry Cough Remedies
Remedy: Consume a ripe banana with 1tsp of honey, with 2 pinches of ground black pepper.
Frequency: 2-3 times a day
Remedy: Make a tea of talisadi powder 1/2 tsp with licorice powder 1/2 tsp, with a little honey added (lukewarm water). This tea is quite powerful.
Productive Cough Remedies
Remedy: Mix 1/4 tsp of black pepper powder with 1tsp of honey. Take it on a full stomach. The heating quality of black pepper helps to relieve congestion and drives out the cough.
Frequency: 2-3 times a day for 3-5 days.
Remedy: Make a tea with 1/2tsp of ginger powder, with a pinch of clove and a pinch of cinnamon powder. This tea only offers a relief, but not a cure.
Remedy: Mix 1/2 tsp of ground mustard with 1/2 tsp of ginger powder into 1tsp of honey, and eat slowly. Ginger relieves congestion, and mustard possess heating property.
Frequency: Take this mixture 2-3 times a day for as long as the cough may persist.
Remedy: Mix 1/2 tsp of bay leaf with 1/4 tsp of pippali and 1tsp of honey.
