Three ways to prevent cough in winters

Three ways to prevent cough in winters| TheNewsTribe.com

As soon as we welcome the winters, cough enters our threshold eventually. You would instantly jump to cough suppressants but this is really a bad idea as it has many side effects. So, try something natural.

Here are a few natural remedies for cough.

Confront a cough with flax, honey, and lemon

Boiling flaxseeds in water gives you a thick, slushy gel that eases throat- and bronchial tract discomfort. Honey and lemon act as mild antibiotics, and make this syrup super-soothing. For this at-home remedy, boil 2 to 3 tablespoons of flaxseeds in 1 cup of water until the water becomes thick. Strain, then add 3 tablespoons each of honey and lemon juice. Take 1 tablespoon as needed for cough suppression.

Make black pepper tea for a wet cough

Black pepper stimulates circulation and mucus flow; honey is a natural cough suppressant and mild antibiotic. To make the tea, place 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper and 2 tablespoons of honey in a cup. Fill with boiling water and let steep, covered, for 15 minutes. Strain and sip as needed. This remedy works best on coughs that produce mucus and isn’t suitable for dry coughs.

Lick a lemon for fast acting cough relief

This isn’t for the faint of heart, but it is one of the more commonly used home remedies: Quarter a fresh lemon, sprinkle it with lots of black pepper and salt, and suck on it for quick relief.
