Ginger
Ginger is not made only for the kitchen or just to spice up foods. It has its health benefits also. Ginger has anti-inflammatory compounds and very effective in soothing the inflamed airways, which can reduce coughing. Asides from that, it is also an effective immunizing agent against germs and very good in calming nerves. As cough treatment, ginger can be stewed in water as tea. You add few slices of fresh ginger in hot water, allow it steep for a few minutes, and drink. This home remedy shouldn’t be taken all the time because excess consumption can lead to stomach upset or heartburn in some cases. [2]
