Coughing is a common health problem. When there is a blockage or irritant in your throat, your brain thinks a foreign element is present and tells your body to cough to remove that element.
Some reasons you may cough are itchy throat and congestion. Instead of using over-the-counter cough suppressants, you may want to try a natural cough treatment using readily available ingredients in your kitchen.
Ginger tea is one of the most popular cures for a cough and is a proven home remedy.
Follow the recipe below for a simple and effective way to quiet a cough.
GINGER TEA
Cut fresh ginger into small slices and crush them slightly. Place them in a cup of water and bring to a boil. You can also use some lemon juice and honey to taste.
It is suggested to drink this herbal solution three to four times a day for relief from a soar throat, coughing and even chest congestion.
