You’ll find cough drops at most supermarkets or medical stores, which may be effective but still contain artificial ingredients. If that worries you, making your own cough drops at home is the best solution. Our homemade cough drops are made from naturally healing ingredients like ginger, cardamom, lemon, honey and clove. Here’s a quick look at their benefits:

• Ginger Contains a substance called Gingerol, which has anti-inflammatory benefits which strengthens the immune system.
• Cardamom is antioxidant-rich and filled with anti-inflammatory effects, offering relief from breathing problems like asthma, cold and cough. It also helps in maintaining gut health.
• The oil released from cloves helps fight germs and loosens phlegm effectively.
• Honey is filled with antimicrobial properties and helps treat a sore throat.
• Being a rich source of vitamin C lemon helps in reducing phlegm.
