It is very important to remove all the mucus from your throat when you cough to avoid its accumulation in the lungs. Follow these simple remedies to ease coughing –

  • Mix 1 tsp dry ginger powder in equal amounts of honey to make a thick paste. Eat this 3-4 times in a day.


    This will help to treat cough effectively. You can even add fresh basil juice to this paste for more effectiveness.
  • Increase the intake of fluids in the day time when you are at work and other things are not handy.


    A nice chicken broth/soup or vegetable soup with garlic in it would also help. Drink this hot to have a soothing effect on your throat and eliminate cough.
  • Make an herbal tea by boiling grated ginger, mint leaves, 1 whole pepper, and holy basil in water. Add honey and drink this tea twice daily to treat cough.
  • Turmeric has antiseptic properties which helps eliminate cough. Add a tsp of turmeric powder in a cup of boiling milk with honey. Drink this twice daily especially before going to bed.
