With the approach of winter, we often have to think about its companions — colds and coughs. I am not a frequent visitor to the pharmacy, I prefer to use proven folk remedies.
This does not mean that I categorically reject the achievements of modern pharmacology, no, in many cases, alas, you can not do without it. Simply, if there is a choice between a regular pharmacy and a natural pharmacy, I always choose the latter option.
I want to share with you a recipe for a wonderful cough medicine-black Spanish radish juice with honey. As long as I can remember, our family has always treated cough in this way, and quite successfully. Since time immemorial, black Spanish radish with honey was treated for bronchitis, whooping cough and given to patients with tuberculosis. The mixture has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and sedative effects when coughing. It also increases immunity, normalizes digestion. There are many useful properties, but here we are talking about the treatment of cough, so I will not list them all. It is very easy to prepare the medicine yourself.
There are many different ways, but I dare not judge them, I will tell you about my own, which has been tested for years. From the radish (pre-washed), I cut off the top of the head, choose the middle with a spoon, put 1-2 tablespoons of honey inside (depending on the size of the radish itself). I cover it with a sheet of paper and leave it for 12 hours. The juice begins to stand out after 1-2 hours. I read that other types of radish are also suitable for the preparation of a medicinal composition, but I always take black, it is somehow more familiar to me. Take the composition of 1 tbsp. 3 times a day, 10-20 minutes before meals. This is a dose for an adult. I do not dare to advise children without having precise recommendations, I did not give it to children under 3 years old at all. Then I started gradually, 1 drop a day, to check for allergies.
There is a list of diseases (heart, kidney, stomach and other internal organs), in which it is not recommended to take the juice of black radish. If there are health problems, it is better to know in advance whether it is possible to treat a cough in such a way that instead of the benefits it is not just the opposite.
