Honey Radish Remedy
Applicable Symptoms
It is suitable for dry cough, itchy throat, small amount of phlegm or sticky phlegm that is difficult to cough up. Especially after seasonal colds, if the cough lingers for a long time without recovery, you can try this remedy. If you have severe fever or difficulty breathing, please see a doctor immediately.
Ingredients
- Fresh white radish 1 small piece (about 100 grams)
- Natural honey 2 to 3 spoons
- Clean glass jar or bowl
Instructions
- Wash the radish, keep the skin on, and cut into small cubes (about 1 cm in size).
- Put the radish cubes into the glass jar or bowl, add honey, just enough to cover the radish.
- Put on the lid (or cover with plastic wrap), leave for 2 to 4 hours until the radish releases water.
- Drink the extracted honey radish juice. Take 2 to 3 times a day, each time a small spoonful (about 10 ml).
- The remaining radish cubes can be eaten, or you can add more honey and soak again.
Why It Works
White radish has a cool nature, which helps to relieve gas, aid digestion, dissolve phlegm, and clear heat; honey has a neutral nature, which moistens the lungs, stops coughing, warms the body, and replenishes energy. Combined, they are neither cold nor dry, helping the body eliminate excess heat while nourishing the throat. Traditional Chinese health care emphasizes "regulating qi and blood," and this remedy gently unblocks lung qi, making breathing smoother. The sweetness of honey can also soothe nerves, helping people relax and fall asleep.
