Introduction: Winter is cold and dry, and some people can't adapt to the changing weather, leading to frequent coughing. With a wide variety of cough medicines, it's hard to know which one to choose. In fact, you can get rid of winter coughs by combining a few common ingredients from your daily life.
Honey, Ginger, and Radish Drink is suitable for coughs caused by colds. Ginger promotes sweating to release the exterior, warms the lungs to stop coughing, and can expel excess heat, pathogens, and cold from the body. White radish contains protein, fat, and rich calcium, and has a strong anti-inflammatory and cough-suppressing effect. The specific method is to use 1 jin of fresh white radish, 30 grams of ginger, and 30 grams of honey. Peel and chop the radish and ginger, then blend them in a juicer. Add honey and it's ready to drink. This drink is also suitable for problems like a sore throat and hoarseness caused by lung-heat coughs.
Honey Fruit Yogurt Drink
Lo Han Guo and Snow Pear Drink is suitable for coughs caused by wind-heat and acute or chronic pharyngitis. Lo Han Guo is sweet and cool in nature, with the effects of stopping coughs and wheezing, and cooling summer heat. When paired with snow pear, which clears heat, nourishes the stomach, and moistens the lungs, its effect of nourishing yin, clearing heat, and stopping coughs is enhanced. Place one clean Lo Han Guo and two snow pears in a clay pot, add water, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Drain the liquid and it's ready to drink.
Steamed Pear is suitable for coughs with phlegm that is difficult to expectorate. Pears have the effects of promoting fluid production to moisten dryness, clearing heat, and transforming phlegm. Wash the pear, core it, and steam it in a pot. Eat one daily. For better results, you can add a small amount of Chuan Bei Mu (Fritillaria) and dried tangerine peel, which are good for stopping coughs and transforming phlegm, into the pear's core before steaming.
