10 Home Remedies For Dry Cough
Home Remedy #5: Ginger
Ginger is a plant that is widely used in various Asian dishes. It is also popular in folk medicine as it is believed to be beneficial for those who experience nausea, vomiting, or an upset stomach. Despite having little to no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness, ginger has been used in traditional or folk medicine for many years.
It is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and, therefore, helpful for those who have asthmatic or dry cough. One study has suggested the benefits of ginger in cough can be attributed to it helping the membranes in the airways to relax, thus reducing coughing. To use ginger as a home remedy for a dry cough, it can be made into ginger tea by adding fresh slices of ginger into hot water and allowing it to steep. To improve the taste, lemon or honey can also be added.
