Cough and cold natural treatment The common cold is caused by a virus that can be overcome only the body's own defence mechanisms. Cough is the body’s natural way of removing the excess mucus that comes up in the throat from the lungs or the nose and sinuses. For both cold and cough, make a mixture of half a teaspoon of ginger juice with half a teaspoon of honey and take it thrice a day.
Another remedy that works wonders is a mixture of 1 teaspoon each of cardamom powder, ginger powder, black pepper powder, cinnamon powder, and 4 teaspoons of sugar powder. Take half a teaspoon of this mixture twice a day with honey or warm water. Coughing usually leads to a sore throat, for this chew a piece of clove or cardamom at night.
When tonsils, which are located at the back (and both sides) of the throat, get infected, a person experiences fever, headache, sore throat, body pain, etc. Apart from consulting the doctor to deal with this infection, try sipping a mixture of warm water, lime juice, four teaspoons of honey, and a quarter teaspoon of common salt. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and pepper powder to warm milk and have it every night. A combination of 300 ml of carrot juice, 100 ml of beetroot juice and 100 ml of cucumber juice will also work wonders.
