A persistent cough can drain your energy and disrupt daily life. Often caused by colds, allergies, or environmental irritants, coughing is the body's way of clearing airways.
While medications offer relief, natural home remedies provide a gentler, more effective solution, easing symptoms and promoting healing without side effects.
Honey: A time-tested remedy that coats the throat and fights infection. Mix a tablespoon with warm water or tea, or take a teaspoon before bed for nighttime relief.
Ginger: Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe airways and reduce mucus. Brew fresh ginger slices into tea with honey or lemon and drink 2–3 times daily.
Saltwater Gargle: Loosens mucus and reduces throat inflammation. Gargle with warm saltwater 3–4 times daily.
Steam Inhalation: Clears airways and congestion. Inhale steam from a bowl of hot water for 10–15 minutes.
Turmeric Milk: Curcumin in turmeric relieves irritation and boosts immunity. Add half a teaspoon to warm milk and drink before bedtime.
Onion Syrup: Mix onion juice with honey for its antimicrobial benefits. Take a teaspoon every few hours.
Liquorice Tea: Soothes tissues and reduces coughing. Steep liquorice root in hot water and sip 2–3 times a day.
Peppermint Tea: Calms the throat and clears airways. Brew peppermint leaves into tea or inhale peppermint-infused steam.
