9. Ginger
Ginger is one of the best remedies if you are looking for a way to soothe a cough. It is full of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and expectorant properties which will help clear the mucus accumulated in the bronchial tubes and make the cough disappear faster. Regular consumption of ginger in the form of cough remedies also helps to strengthen the immune system.
A few cups of ginger tea a day can help soothe inflammation in the throat while keeping you hydrated.
The trio of honey, lemon and ginger is even more effective by adding the antiseptic properties of both ingredients. Brew this remedy by boiling a few slices of fresh ginger for 10 minutes. Strain and add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey and the juice of a lemon and drink it warm.
