Home remedy for persistent cough

Indian kitchen is an ayurvedic pharmacy by itself. I am sharing a home remedy for people who suffer from cough which could aggravate when one tries to lie down or while speaking for a longer time specially when one is suffering from cough and cold. This has been shared by my mother.

What all you will need:-

10 Green Cardmoms
1 sterelized sewing needle
9 inches cotton thread
Motor and pastel
 1/4 tsp.Honey

Method:-

Take 10 green cardmoms and thread them with the hep of a needle.
 
Then hold the needle over the gas stove and roast the elaichi till they turn black which will take only a couple
 of seconds.

 Then remove these and pound them. You can put the skin of the cardmom in your tea.

After you pound them take 1/4 of the teaspoon of the powder and put the rest in an airtight container for further use, mix it with the honey and serve it immediately.

This should be done once a day.
