So does honey have the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm?

Can honey relieve cough and reduce phlegm?

Honey can be used to relieve cough. Most honeys have the effect of relieving coughs, and the best effect is to drink them directly. But you must drink real honey, which is pure natural honey that has not undergone any processing, and the thicker the better.

In addition to relieving cough, honey has many other functions:

1. Honey can improve the composition of blood, promote heart, brain and blood vessel function, so regular consumption is very beneficial for cardiovascular patients. Honey has a protective effect on the liver, can promote the regeneration of liver cells, and has a certain inhibitory effect on the formation of fatty liver.

2. Honey can quickly replenish physical strength, eliminate fatigue, and enhance resistance to disease. Honey also has a sterilization effect. Regular consumption of honey not only has no effect on teeth, but also can sterilize and disinfect the oral cavity.

3. Honey can treat moderate skin injuries, especially burns. When honey is used as a skin wound dressing, bacteria cannot grow.

1. There are many types of honey currently sold on the market. Although honey generally has the effect of relieving cough and moistening the lungs, if you want to achieve better results, you must carefully identify the types of honey. Cool honey has a more obvious effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, including loquat honey, coptis honey, locust honey, etc. The cough-relieving effect of these honeys is better than other honeys.

2. The effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm by consuming honey alone is not very obvious. It is better to consume honey together with other ingredients. For example, peanuts and dates are the most ideal combination for honey. Eating them together has a good therapeutic effect on cough caused by excessive phlegm. You can directly boil the peanuts and dates in water, and then add honey before drinking.
