Grand mothers always know useful tricks to millions of differents situations. Health, beauty, cooking, gardening, … So I decided to share, in a series of advices, natural recipes and remedies of everyday life occasions.
Today, I'm going to give you some easy tips to cure a cough. Cough can have differents causes, but it's not an illness in itself, only a symptom of an other infection.
The flu, an allergy, the cold weather, asthma, a medical treatment, a heart condition... Are the principal causes of a cough.
However, most of the time, your cough is caused by the cold or by an infection of your breathing ways.
Use those easy recipes to reduce the infection :
Recipe 1 : Boil 2-3 branches of thyme in 500 ml of water and add a soup spoon of honey.
Drink this decoction 3 times a day.
Recipe 2 : Make a smoothie of 5 fresh onions. 2 or 3 times a day, take a cup and fill it at half by onion juice, and half with warm water. Despite the « delicious » taste of that drink, it's really efficient thanks to the disolving properties of onions : it will give you a greasy expectoration that will expel the bacteria responsible of the infection.
Recipe 3 : In a cup (200 ml) of warm water, add 2 soup spoons of lemon juice, one soup spoon of honey, and a pinch of cinnamon powder. Drink this cup 2 times a day.
Honey has been used as a medicine since the dawn of civilisation. An organic honey (that has not been pasterized) is a very efficient anti-bacterial and reduce all bacterial developpment when applied.
