Scourge Against Viruses and Bacteria: Home Remedy for Sore Throat and Cough!

By Lilia

A recipe for a natural cough remedy that won’t leave you in trouble.

By the way, we will use onion, which contains vitamins A and C and is used to treat diseases of the respiratory organs, bronchitis, cough and flu.

We combine it with honey, which acts as a natural antibiotic for coughs, and lemon, which is an extremely strong antioxidant, has a strong antibacterial and antiviral effect.

When you prepare it, you can watch this recipe from the YouTube channel Moja kučina Tanja at the end of the article and you will see that together with the other ingredients, this natural remedy is invaluable.

Another effective ingredient is ginger, which strengthens immunity, treats coughs and colds, and is effective against nausea and vomiting.

Cloves help heal the lungs, strengthen immunity, relieve pain, can treat coughs, colds, flu and make breathing easier.

Among other things, it is also good for treating asthma.

We need:

1 lemon + 1 tbsp baking soda 

10 pcs. clove

10 g of ginger

1 liter of water

Preparation:

Put the lemon in a bowl of water, add the soda and clean it well.

Let it sit for about 10 minutes. 

Then rinse the lemon under running water.

And cut it into wheels together with the peel.

We take an onion, cut off the ends and cut it in half.

Now we take the cloves and stick them in the middle of the onion.

Stick the cloves into one and the other half of the onion. 

Clean the ginger and cut it into smaller pieces. 

Place all the prepared ingredients in a saucepan and cover with water. 

Cover with a lid and put on the stove. 

Put on moderate heat and bring to a boil.

Then cook for about 10 minutes. 

After 10 minutes of boiling, the drink is ready. 

It is left to cool under a lid, then poured into a glass, sweetened with a spoonful of honey and drunk several times a day. 

This drink helps with:

respiratory tract infections

bronchitis 

sore throat

airway obstruction

Trick with onions and cloves

Although this trick is not related to health, it can be very useful, especially during the warmer months.

I discovered this trick when I was working abroad.

The people there had to fight the flies and mosquitoes much more intensively than we did.

Due to the heat and high humidity these monsters were literally everywhere.

The people there used an onion on which they stuck many cloves and that’s how they dealt with flies, mosquitoes, bugs, etc.

Cut the onion, stick clove buds in it and hang it on the window (I use it on the kitchen window).

The combination of strong scents is very strong for insects and as they lose their ability to navigate around it, they will prefer to avoid it.

Alternatively, simply put the onion in a bowl and store it, for example, on the kitchen counter.

Flies, midges and mosquitoes will stay away.
