06.12.2012

Pharmaceutically produced cough syrup does not have to be. Naturopathy knows effective herbs that have been used for centuries for coughs, runny nose and inflammation. The well-known book author and naturopath Adelheid Lingg shows which natural ingredients are used to make a natural cough syrup. First, Adelheid Lingg shows how an onion cough syrup is prepared. The onion is considered natural in natural medicine „antibiotic“.

Natural onion cough syrup
For an onion cough syrup you need an onion, 100 grams of candy, 1 teaspoon of thyme, a teaspoon of ribwort and a teaspoon of yarrow. First, the onion is minced very finely. Then simmer the onion pieces with thyme, ribwort and yarrow in about 100 milliliters of water. Stir occasionally. When the sugar candy has completely dissolved, strain everything and let it cool. Melt the onion cough syrup 3 to 5 times daily with a teaspoon on the tongue.

Radish cough
Because many do not like the taste of onions, you can try the variant with the black radish. For this you need a black radish, brown sugar candy and knitting needles. First, the radish is cut off the lid. With a spoon, the black radish is hollowed out. Now fill the candy in the hollowed out radish and place a large glass with the tip down so that there is free space under the radish. Now let everything go and cover the radish again after about an hour. Make a hole with a knitting needle from above through the candy to the top of the radish. Afterwards put the lid back on top. Now the radish cough syrup drips into the glass.

To apply the radish cough syrup is done with a teaspoon on the tongue. Melt the juice on the tongue. This application can be done 3 to 5 times a day. Alternatively, the radish cough syrup can be added to a tea that has cooled to about 40 degrees. Then drink the tea. Both cough syrups of natural medicine have an expectorant effect, can relieve the coughing and act against inflammation. (Sb)
