Hello smartboy

 

your questions are indeed smart, asking for Best treatment on the net. Who will

decide which treatment is best? Even amongst home remedies, not everything suits

everyone. Vaidyas can make most suitable choice for each patient. However author

is suggesting you something which suits majority from his own experience.

 

It is important to understand why dry cough occurs. Dry cough can be indicator

of some serious conditions too. Such cases should be handled by vaidyas only.

Most common reason could be irritation, inflamation, infection of lung or

bronchial tube as a result of airborne dust, chemicals, gases, fumes, microbes,

viruses. Air passages secret mucous to trap these, but due to winter dry air,

heat inside the body, insufficiency of mucous (caused by immuno-suppresant

steroidal synthetic drugs) it dries up and mucous cant be expelled in wet

condition. Dry cough often comes after a viral infection, the lingering side

effect of synthetic medicines taken to treat the infections.

 

Hydration of the body is first step. Take copper water in warm condition, every

two hours. Add a little ginger while putting copper vessel on fire. You may add

honey when it is lukewarm, honey is useful home remedy here. Taking this copper

water through out the day will help. But it alone cant cure dry cough, please

note.

 

Soak Almond seeds in water overnight and the remove skin. Now grind well to form

a fine paste. Add butter (or pure indian cow ghee if you can get) and sugar to

the paste. This paste should be taken in the morning and evening. The quantity

of almond seeds is four to start with and go on adding one seed each day till

ten seeds. The quantity of butter and sugar is 3 grams each for every almond

seed taken.

 

If you find above remedy too difficult, take turmeric rhizome. You can roast it

by holding on gas fire such that it turns brownish. Take care that it does not

start burning during roasting. No microwave please. Pound lightly and powder it

in kitchen mixer. Turmeric powder made this way should be taken in 1 tsp doses

twice daily, in the morning and evening. While taking with warm water is

adequate, licking it in honey will give more benefit.

 

Any of above remedies should be tried on empty stomach condition, which for a

normal lifestyle occurs morning evening and evening. It is important to know the

time of the day when dry cough is most active, as it can suggest more focussed

approach for treatment.

 

Yes, dry cough is also related to stomach, as 99 out of 100 diseases are. During

winter, dry cough occurs more often as the foods which are eaten are also kapha

promoting. Boosting agni is the root treatment, already discussed in group

archives. Until root cause remains, you will have some relief by above remedies,

but not complete long term cure.

Sai Ram. In addition to the suggestions already given, here is yet another

suggestion for a home remedy.

 

Indian gallnut or inknut, also called har, harda or pilehar in Hindi, kadukka in

Malayalam, kadukar or karakkaya in Telugu, harithaki, pathya, sudha or poothana

in Sanskrit, Terminalia chebula, Combretaceae, Chebulic myrobalan - the bark of

this kept in the mouth helps. My friend suggested this and my wife is finding it

helpful.

 

Blessings
