Bad cough.. try lime juice with rock sugar..

I was having fever last week and a non stop coughing..with a so maidless at home, kids start schooling and work..ooh just tell me about it, with some strength left.., I still have to manage all these ( i do not have a choice either ).

It is just me whenever I fell sick, I would try all the natural remedies on me...My fever is getting better but my cough seems very hard to get rid off.. finally, when my husband bought some limes and with my available stock of rock sugar, I decided to try this combination..

Very easy and handy, boil some rock sugar and I add pandan leaves ( I just love the smell ) and just add the boiled concentrated rock sugar to some squeezed lime ( about 8 ~ 10 limes ) and a right amount of water to dilute them. This would make a teapot of lime juice and take it warm. It was amazing, my cough reduced a lot, I can sleep better and it seems that I almost forgot about my coughing on the next day..

  1. are you getting better now? Pei Pa Koa (www.geocities.jp/ninjiom_hong_kong/index_e.htm ) is one of the few Chinese natural cough remedies that have been scientifically studied. it's something like herb plus honey, and it's sweet, thick and black in color. If you have a cough, look for it! It used to be one of my favourite natural cough remedies.

    if your cough persists, seek professional help such as traditional Chinese medicine physicians - I have had very good experiences with them.
