Bronchitis causes inflammation in the bronchial tubes, leading to persistent coughing, chest congestion, and breathing difficulty. This natural remedy uses powerful ingredients that help clear mucus, soothe airways, and strengthen the lungs. It’s a traditional home treatment made from simple kitchen ingredients that naturally fight infection, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. While it’s not a medical replacement, this remedy can help relieve coughing, loosen phlegm, and support faster lung recovery when used regularly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw honey
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder (or 2 inches fresh turmeric root)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a saucepan, combine water, ginger, onion, garlic, and turmeric. Boil on low heat for about 10 minutes until the water reduces slightly and the aroma releases.
- Cool and strain: Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cloth to remove solids.
- Add honey and lemon: Once the liquid is warm (not hot), add honey and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- Store and use: Pour the syrup into a clean glass jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use.
How to Use
Take 1 tablespoon of this mixture 3 times a day — morning, afternoon, and before bed. Use it consistently for at least 3 days to notice a reduction in coughing and easier breathing. For children above 6 years, use 1 teaspoon per serving.
Benefits
- Clears mucus: Onion and garlic help dissolve phlegm and make it easier to expel.
- Soothes throat and lungs: Honey coats the throat, reducing irritation and coughing.
- Boosts immunity: Ginger, turmeric, and lemon strengthen your body’s defense system against infections.
