Cough and cold
If a child has a cough and cold:
1.Crush 10-15 'tulsi' leaves. Give one teaspoon of this juice mixed with honey or jaggery three times a day to babies for 5 days.
2.Heat four teaspoons of coconut oil. Crush one teaspoon of camphor (Kapoor or Karpura). Dissolve this in the oil. Keep it stored in airtight bottles. This can be rubbed on the chest and throat of the child to relieve congestion. (This can also be used for any muscular pain).
If an adult has cough and cold:
1.Boil a handful of fresh eucalyptus leaves in two glasses of water, till only one glass is left. Strain this water and add sugar. Drink this three times a day for 5 days.
2.Another effective medicine for cough and cold is Leucas aspera (Hindi: Guma, Tamil: Thumbai). This is a wild plant with white bell- shaped flowers. Boil one handful of fresh leaves in water with a pinch of turmeric powder (haldi). Inhale the steam. This helps to relieve congestion.
3.Boil a handful of leaves in a glass of water until the water gets reduced to half. Add one teaspoon of honey. Give three times a day for five days.
Sinusitis
1.Soak a piece of turmeric in castor oil and burn it. Inhale the fumes. Burn a few pepper corns (Hindi: Kali mirch, Tamil: Milagu) and inhale the fumes.
2.Mix together half a cup of bitter gourd (Hindi: Karela, Tamil: Paharkai) juice, half a lime and one tablespoon of honey. Drink three times a day for 5 days.
Sore Throat
1.Crush fresh ginger to get 1 teaspoonful of the juice and mix this with equal amount of honey. Take this every three hours. This is very soothing to the throat.
2.Boil some water. Add the juice of one lime and sugar or salt. Take this hot once every 3-4 hours.
3.Boil a glass of milk with a pinch of turmeric and pepper powder (black pepper) and drink it hot at bedtime.

ANOTHER SMALL TIP
JUST DROP 10 PEPPER CORNS IN A BOTTLE (1 LIT) OF WATER AND LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT. DRINK THAT WATER AS AND WHEN YU FEEL THIRSTY AND FILL IT AGAIN. LIKE THIS YOU CAN DO THIS THRICE AND CHANGE THE PEPPER AGAIN.
THE COUGH COMES UNDER CONTROL AND THIS PROVED TO BE BEST IN STOPPING RECURRENCE OF COUGH.

Jai Sai Ram. Hare Krsna !
Dear all, Thanks for provding wonderful tips. I am having this persistant cough since last 5 weeks( which started with sore throat) and have been asked for second course of antibiotics as preventive measure to avoid any upper respiratory infections further. I have tried almost all home remedies- to the point of gurgling with salt water every hour when I am at home - honey lemon ginger tea and kaada, tulsi and misri and black pepper remedies..relief has been temporary but cough still stays tho its less sometimes but its not cured.
Recently one of my friends gave me ayurvedic remedy- called Kushal Kanthika - which was 100% effective and it was like I did not cough at all as long as I had the golis in my mouth. But once its over- I am back to same state. I have tried antihistamines, decongestants and all . Now finally I got Mullathi and Harad in raw form from india - I keep them in mouth all day - cough is in control 80%. If I don’t have in mouth- I still cough.
Conclusion- Persistant cough will take its own time to go away but remedies may provide temporary relief to some people. This has been observation from several times. Last time I had such cough few years back I got tested for asthama etc and no such identified. But it took like 7 -8 weeks to get completely cured.
