Acccchu...Yes the winter has just set in. People around are complaining of cold,coughs,throat infection, etc etc.
Always taking antibiotics and allopathic medication is not a good idea. Also sometimes taking antibiotics and other allopathic medicine does not help.
Since the last few days I am suffering from throat infection. This is the first time that my throat infection has turned very very bad. I keep getting terrible ear aches. To add to this, I also got high fever of 102 C. Took an antibiotic course of 7 days, but still I feel no relief. I called my mom and she has shared all these remedies with me. The best is "Kasai/Kada".
Whenever I got cold and throat infection, my mom used to give me this "kada".
This time I called my mom and asked her the recipe. Gave this to my hubby too as he too was affected by throat infection. Thankfully, he got recovered but not me.
I thought of sharing some homemade remedies for this winter. The best is "Kasai" or "Kada". Try it out. This does not taste bitter :)
Remedy 1
Ingredients for Kasai/Kada:
1 tsp Fennel Seeds / Badishep
1 tsp Black peppercorns
1 tsp Coriander seeds
1 tsp Cumin Seeds / Jeera
1 tsp dry ginger / Soonth
Procedure:
Mix all the ingredients and grind to form a powder.
Add this to 2 cups of boiling water. Let it get boiled for sometime say 5-10 Min's.
Strain and sip this hot Kada.
This has to be had for 3-4 continuous days or till you feel better. This will provide quick relief for sore throats.
Remedy 2
Mix 1 tsp black pepper powder and 1 tsp dry ginger powder in 1 tablespoon honey. This has to be had twice a day.
This is also good to provide quick relief to sore throats and common cold.
Remedy 3
Salt water gargles in Luke warm water - always the best and effective.
Remedy 4
Mix turmeric powder in boiling milk along with 1 tsp sugar. Drink this hot turmeric milk to get relief from common cold.
Remedy 5
If you are a non-vegetarian, do drink hot and sour chicken soup.
Remedy 6
Simply eat honey. Honey has the natural antibiotic and can be had anytime when the throat turns bad.
Remedy 7
Just eat 2-3 raw garlic pods 5 times a day for 3 days.
Note:All these homemade remedies should be had simultaneously with other medications which has been prescribed by a doctor. I am only sharing the homemade remedies. I am not a doctor :) Please consult your doctor in case you are down with throat infection.
