Although my mom's a nurse, she would always advise us to try home-made remedies first before pharmaceutical medicines. Unless, the sickness kicked in real hard, of course. And thanks to God, it works!
I tend to have coughs. As I have observed, it occurs 2-3 times a week. During my check-up for my OJT requirement that happened in October 2017, I was diagnosed with Upper Respiratory Tract Infection/URTI. The symptoms are common colds, cough and nasal discharge that may persists up to 14 days or more. I was fed up with antibiotics for phlegm , and meds for coughs and colds, and vit C., for 2 weeks for my second check-up. I think it wasn't totally cured. I'm speculating that this coughing is still connected to my URTI.
So, to avoid taking meds and anti-biotics, I drink home-made Calamansi Juice when I feel like coughing. What you need:
- 1 glass of water (be it, hot or cold)
- 5 pieces of medium-sized Calamansi
- 1 tablespoon of honey
Just combine and stir everything in a glass and drink it while it's hot or cold. It's rich in vit. C, and soothes the throat. Plus, we're using honey, a natural sweetener so it's good for the body.
Always remember
"A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones." -Proverbs 14:30
King James Version (KJV)
Release those heavy stuff you carry in your heart and have faith in God. It makes you live long.
Till my next post, God-willing!
