This is an excellent homemade remedy that can successfully combat persistent cough, inflammation of the throat and bronchi. To prepare it you only need water and bananas.
Homemade remedy
Besides its high effectiveness in treatment, this perfect remedy is also very tasty and has a beneficial effect on the human stomach. Its preparation is quick and fairly simple.
Who is this recipe intended for?
This banana recipe is especially recommended for illnesses in children, who often refuse common medicines or other home cough remedies.
These are almost always based on not very tasty ingredients such as onion, garlic or ginger.
However, you can use the recipe for both children and adults.
So if someone in the family, whether you or your child, is suffering from a throat or lower respiratory tract condition, you definitely have to try this recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas (bananas that are starting to have black specks are best)
- 400 ml boiling water
- 2 tablespoons of honey
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork or spoon.
- Place the banana puree into a glass or porcelain bowl and pour boiling water over it.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it stand for 30 minutes.
- If you wish, after steeping you can strain the mixture (but you don’t have to).
- Add the honey and mix well.
Processing of vitamins and compounds
Pouring boiling water over the bananas degrades some of the vitamins and enzymes in the bananas.
However, this recipe is not focused on vitamin intake, but on obtaining substances that have anti-inflammatory effects and stop coughing.
And these substances are obtained from the bananas precisely by steeping in boiling water.
To supply the body with vitamins and boost immunity you can simply eat fresh bananas and other healthy fruits such as tangerines, oranges, lemons or apples.
Usage
Take the preparation 4 times a day, 100 ml each time. If you did not strain the banana after steeping, stir it well with a spoon before use.
Store the mixture in the refrigerator.
Before the next use always pour off 100 ml of the drink and let it warm to room temperature (never take it straight from the fridge on a sore throat).
Prepare a new batch of this homemade remedy every day. Your cough, or rather your child’s cough, should pass within a few days.
