10 Home Remedies For a Cough
Home Remedy #3: Pineapple
Pineapple is an edible fruit consisting of coalesced berries. It is a rich source of vitamin C and manganese. It also contains bromelain, which is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes. Bromelain is most plentiful in the core of the pineapple. Bromelain has been found to have mucolytic and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with mucus break down and removal.
There are individuals who drink pineapple juice to help decrease the presence of mucus in their throat and suppress coughing. Bromelain supplements are also available and can be more effective. It is important to note that some individuals may be allergic to bromelain and it may interact with medications. Discuss with your doctor before starting the supplements.
