HOMEMADE REMEDIES TO TREAT COUGH

Cold, cough, fever all these are few problems that is almost common in every person’s life. But do we go to doctor every time? Our lives are so busy and precious that, we go online to buy vegetables and groceries too from the best online supermarkets. And hence taking care of ourselves is too very much needed.

It is said that the first school in our life is at home. Similarly, I am confident that everyone would agree that every mother is a doctor too as she not only keeps you healthy but also keeps your mental health in great condition.

Its normal that every elder person in a house would be knowing about the homemade medicines for at least the common problems. But with the extinct of the joint family method and the implementation of nuclear family types, almost every house will just have 4 to 5 members and this has been the reason why people are not knowing about all those homemade remedies now a days. So this is a venture to just educate people about the homemade medicines against cold.

Cough has been an instant reaction to clear off the breathing passage of dust, mucous secretions etc. Coughs may be voluntary or involuntary. The reason for cough may be smoking, infection in respiratory tract and many more. And cough may also be an indication to lot many diseases. Hence taking care of cough will be of prime importance.

Homemade remedies have always been in practice from times immemorial. Even before the doctors were known to the world, homemade remedies were found and were in practice and this becomes the strong reason as to why we need to learn these. And these are useful at some point of the time for sure and it is a safety exit always when there is no access for doctors. Hence let us learn it with great interest and concentration.
