Mama’s Chronic Cough Recipes with Turmeric

Do not let cough go untreated. This creates a chronic cough making it difficult to find relief.  Sleeping soundly in situations like this is virtually impossible leading to stress and fatigue.

However, have not fear, turmeric can treat a chronic cough, as well. Here are some home recipes, honey.

  • Place into a betel leaf 1 gram of roasted turmeric powder and. 0.25 grams of   Potassii carbons (Javkhar).  Keep in mouth and savor it gradually (No chewing or swallowing.)  Do this twice daily:  morning and evening after food.
  • If you don’t want to suck on a leaf then you could drink the following potion.  Mix a few tbs. of turmeric to a glass of goats milk and then boil. Do not mix in any other order.  Allow it to cool down and then drink.  You can have this a few times a day.
  • Avoid spicy foods.

Want to improve curcumin absorption?  Here are two tricks my Mama taught me.

  • Blend together a tablespoon of curcumin powder, 1-2 egg yolks and one or two teaspoons of coconut oil. Swallow right away.  You may take this twice a day.
  • Drink a concentrated Curcumin Tea.  Mix one tablespoon of curcumin powder into a cup of boiling water, allowing it to boil for another ten minutes. Savor the solution within four hours to obtain all its therapeutic benefits.

Adhere to the following tips:

  • Turmeric discolors surfaces permanently.
  • Curry powder is not pure turmeric. So don’t use it for a cough.  Great spice for cooking though.
  • Don’t buy curcumin powder on the streets, go purchase at a reputable health food store.  Raw turmeric is the best used for chewing and boiling.  Not good to make powder with.
  • Organic turmeric is always the better choice.

Candidates who should avoid turmeric…

Using turmeric as a spice is very safe but as a supplement one must take precautions. Take precautions with turmeric supplements when pregnant, have gall bladder problems (I did not say gallstones), diabetes or are to undergo surgery.  Turmeric can slow down blood clotting.
