Cough home remedy
There are several cough suppressants easily available in and around the home. The first of these are grapes, which are an excellent expectorant. They clear up the lungs and provide breathing relief almost immediately.
One cup of grape juice and a teaspoon of honey can be taken thrice a day. One cup of onion juice mixed with two tablespoons of honey also has the effect of removing phlegm from the system. Milk as hot as you can take it with half a teaspoon of turmeric powder will help suppress coughs. If the taste is too bitter for you, feel free to add a couple of teaspoons honey to the mix. You may also add crushed holy basil leaves to this mix. Turmeric powder is a natural healer and an antiseptic and will also heal sore throats. A cup of herbal tea with two tablespoons of aniseed added to it is also an excellent cough suppressant. Herbal tea with holy basil added to it also works towards easing coughs. A pinch of fresh-ground black pepper, a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of lime juice will help reduce the intensity of the cough. This can be taken as many times as you like. Sucking on a dry piece of ginger all day also relieves coughing. Warm carrot juice also helps relieve dry cough.
