Cold/Cough - Home Remedy

For Day 2 Week 3 of BM #45, here is another home remedy for the common cold. This is a good one to have at home for the upcoming winter season.

I usually add this powder to the Tea I prepare specially in the colder months.

Ingredients - 

Cinnamon
Pepper corns
Cardamom seeds
Sonth (Dry ginger)
Optional Sweetener - Honey or Rock candy powder

Method Of Preparation -


Powder equal quantities (by weight) of the ingredients. 

Store them in an air tight container and use as required.

Dosage - Boil 1 cup of water and add 1/2 tsp of the above powder. Let it simmer for a couple minutes. 

Remove from heat, sieve, add the sweetener if preferred and sip the hot/warm mixture once or twice a day to relieve throat discomfort, nasal congestion, runny/itchy nose etc.
