Cough is caused by an irritation in the throat caused by allregens. Sometimes, it is also from muccous buildup in the bronchial tubes that can further lead to chronic cough, dry heaving in the lungs or bronchitis.
Although there are many over the counter medicatons available in treating cough, not everyone is fond of taking in cough syrups that leaves a nasty taste in the tongue, most especially kids. Fortunately, there is an easy and natural alternative now being suggested to efficiently get rid of the phlegm with just the use of honey, coconut oil and flour.
The trick named as "Honey Wrap" is done by strapping a cloth with the mixture of the three ingredients in one's chest and leaving it to soothe the symptoms overnight.
According to the claims of Shareably and theAsianParent, medical experts say that some cough syrup and pharameutical options come with risks and side effects. Codeine sulfate, a pain relieving substance present in the syrup, may cause drowsiness, dizziness, sedation, light-headedness and a few other side effects. Aside from that, the Dextromethorphan present in the syrup suppresses the brain as it sends signals telling it to spasm the lungs to rid it from irritants through powerful coughs in hopes of pushing the mucus out.
Although there is still no professional study that supports the use of honey wrap, Kinder Clinic pediatrician and neonatologist Dr Pradeep Raut affirmed that there are studies proving the clinical effectiveness of honey in nocturnal cough. According to the doctor, honey is "inexpensive, has an excellent safety profile, a good demulcent effect and antioxidant properties, and it increases cytokine release, which may result in antimicrobial effects."
The coconut oil in the honey wrap has the ability to dissolve the lipid coating around the virus making it more vulnerable to the immune system's attacks. As for honey, it is used to relieve cold symptoms namely sore itchy throat and coughing.
See the steps below!
Ingredients: Raw organic honey, coconut oil, flour, napkin and adhesive tape.
First, mix the three ingredients together- a teaspoon of flour, some honey and warmed coconut oil. Allow a napkin to absorb the mixture and place it in the center of the chest. Strap it on using the adhesive medical tape. For adults, strap it overnight. As for children, about two to three hours would do. Although the results are noticable the first time, you can repeat the process if needed.
