Coughing is actually the body’s way of eliminating
irritants in your airways and throat. There are several reasons why you cough,
including colds, flu, allergies, asthma, and pneumonia. Needless to say, everybody
coughs and it is therefore a normal occurrence. However, if you continue to
cough for more than a week, you should visit a doctor right away.
Here’s a cough remedy that can help get rid of your problem
within 24 hours. The ingredients are quite simple:
ü
Three liters of water
ü
One kilo of onions
With those two ingredients ready, follow these steps:
1.
Prepare the onions by getting rid of the
mustache. Make sure you wash them all well.
2.
Cut the onions into quarters.
3.
Put the three liters of water in a pot.
4.
Add the onions in the pot.
5.
Let the water boil until half of it (1.5 liters)
evaporates.
6.
Let the water cool.
7.
Strain the onions.
You now have an onion
tea. For better taste, you can add a spoonful of honey and juice from half a lemon.
Make sure you consume 250 mL of the tea twice
a day. The next day, your coughing will either lessen or completely go
away.
