The onset of winter brings with it issues like cold, cough, sore throat and fevers. Some people find their cough worsening at night, making it difficult to sleep and leaving them feeling tired and irritated the next day. If you experience increased coughing at night with the changing season, here’s an effective ayurvedic remedy to help.
Ayurvedic Remedy For Coughing At Night
If you’re struggling with cold symptoms, particularly worsening cough at night, try consuming honey with turmeric before bed. Both turmeric and honey are rich in antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Taking these together can provide relief from seasonal flu and cough.
To consume honey and turmeric, first boil a glass of water. Add two teaspoons of turmeric powder to the boiled water. Let the mixture cool slightly, then add one spoon of honey. Avoid adding honey to very hot water, as exposing honey to high temperatures can diminish its beneficial properties. Stir the mixture well, strain, and enjoy it like tea.
