Something one can tell oh so many stories about when living in Bremen, where it is windy and rainy most of the time.
I personally (Dominique) have the pleasure to face this problem every other day!
To make this very annoying maladie somewhat less painful, here a few solutions:
Germany:
1. Cut onions wrapped into a hot cloth – put the filled cloth on your chest (cough)
2. Cut onions and put sugar on top (be generous) – leave it to soak for abt 2-3hrs, the
sugar will have extracted the juice from the onions. Onions work as disinfectant
and as the natural form of antibiotics (cough)
India:
Ginger, lemon and salt in hot water (cough)
Colombia/International :
Hot water with honey and lemon, simply honey or honey in hot milk (sore throat)
Hot milk should only be applied when you have a dry cough, because milk encourages mucus
to develop
Gargles with hot water (sore throat)
Romania:
Black radish juice, extracted in the same manner as onion juice (cure the cough)
