| Home Remedies for Cough and Cold Honey and Lemon |
My kids do not easily take to home remedies. They distrust them and look at them as some torture weapons that I have in my arsenal.
In fact once when my elder
one was small she had severe stomachache, and I had a tough time convincing her
and her father that warming ajwain in a kitchen napkin over a tava, then
lightly applying it to the tummy will relieve the kid of pain.I am sorry to say I lost my temper with both
of them. But when the kid felt better both of them grudgingly accepted that I
know some medicine.
Then her pediatrician told
them that some of the home remedies are good and she listed out some of them
the chief being hot water and lemon with honey for a cold.
I love to add tulsi/holy
basil when I am boiling the water. In Goa when a child is small they also add
black raisins called pasa here.
I make this and have a lot
of takers now that it has the doctor’s seal.
