Stop Cough in 1 Day, Clean Lungs in 3 Days: Homemade Syrup with Onion and Bay Leaves
There’s no need to turn to additive-laden store-bought cough and congestion medicines when they start to make you feel awful. As an alternative, you may use a natural, handmade syrup that is created from only two basic ingredients: bay leaves and onions. Without the use of sugar or artificial sweeteners, this potent mixture may help you clear your lungs in three days and stop coughing in only one day. Here’s how to prepare this potent home cure.
1. Why Onion and Bay Leaves?
Sulphur compounds and antioxidants, which have potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, are abundant in onions. These substances ease throat discomfort and lessen coughing by loosening mucus in the lungs and making it easier to exhale. Contrarily, bay leaves contain expectorant properties that help open up the airways and facilitate better breathing. They are also high in essential oils.
Onion and bay leaves combine to make a strong natural syrup that helps you feel better more quickly by addressing the symptoms as well as the underlying causes of respiratory problems.
2. How to Make the Homemade Syrup
Making this homemade syrup is quick and easy, and it requires only a few ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion
- 4-5 bay leaves
- 2 cups of water
- Optional: A bit of honey for taste (if desired, but no sugar)
Instructions:
- Peel the onion and chop it into thin slices or tiny pieces to begin preparing it.
- Boil the Water: Place two cups of water in a medium pot and bring it to a boil.
- Add Onion and Bay Leaves: Add the chopped onion and bay leaves to the saucepan once the water reaches a rolling boil. The healthy qualities of the onion and bay leaves will seep into the water when you lower the heat and simmer the combination for ten to fifteen minutes.
- sieve the Syrup: After the saucepan has simmered, turn off the heat and sieve the mixture to get rid of the bay leaves and onion chunks. Let the syrup cool a little.
- Optional Honey Addition: You are free to taste and add a tiny bit of honey if you would like.
- Use and Store: Transfer the syrup into an airtight, sanitised jar and keep it chilled. It will continue to be fresh for a few days.
3. How the Syrup Is Used
Take 1-2 teaspoons of this homemade syrup every few hours throughout the day until your cough goes away for optimal effects. Continue taking the syrup for three days to enable the potent chemicals to do their job and clear your lungs.
