Economical Remedy: ‘Penicillin of the Poor’ Syrup

The remedies our grandparents used to make during times of illness were a mixed bag – not always pleasant in taste, but incredibly effective in their healing properties. However, there’s a different type of remedy known as the “Poor Man’s Penicillin” that not only tastes surprisingly good but is also highly effective.

Coughs, colds, or fevers posed no challenge for our grandparents. They had a knack for transforming everyday ingredients into magical syrups, pickles, or poultices. What’s more, these remedies actually delivered results. Nature provides us with remarkable plants that possess incredible healing properties, and it’s essential to harness their potential.

Home Remedy for Persistent Cough
When dealing with a lingering cough, here’s a fantastic solution to alleviate it. Known as the “Poor Man’s Penicillin,” this syrup is ideal for respiratory infections or sore throats. It can also relieve various symptoms associated with these health issues.

The preparation is straightforward, and you can find the ingredients in almost every kitchen. The key ingredient for this remedy is thyme. Thyme is the secret behind the syrup’s wonderful healing properties. Thyme is a natural source of antibiotics and boasts disinfectant and antiseptic effects. It’s beneficial for treating colds, respiratory tract inflammations, and digestive problems. Thyme also acts as an expectorant, making it ideal for persistent coughs, especially those accompanied by stubborn secretions.

Recipe:

To prepare the syrup, you will need:

Growing Lettuce at home

For many centuries, lettuce has delighted us with its diverse varieties. An essential vegetable in the vegetable garden, easy to grow, quickly discover everything you need to know about lettuce!

1 – THE TYPE OF SOIL:

Lettuce likes to thrive in well-drained, moist soil that has been organically enriched with compost or organic manure. Although the soil should be moist, it should not be soggy.

If you have soil that is too heavy, then you can add organic compost/manure or grow a cover crop.

Lettuce likes slightly acidic soil with a pH of around 6.0 to 6.5

Mulch can be applied to the soil to help with soil water retention and also help prevent weeds. An alternative to organic mulch is black plastic with holes to let lettuce pass through. However, plastic will not provide the soil with nutrients like organic mulch would.

Lettuces should be watered regularly to ensure that the soil does not dry out. Pour water at the base of the plants rather than on the leaves because watering the leaves can encourage disease.

2 – WHEN TO SOW IT?

Plants That Thrive Indefinitely in Aquatic Environments

Herbs have been used since ancient times because they have incredible benefits and medicinal properties.

There is no need to use flower pots, because like the popular bamboos, these plants can be grown directly in water in glass containers.

1 – MINT:

When it comes to freshness, this plant takes first place. This feature allows you to smell a delicate sweet smell. If you grow it in water, it will be in its natural habitat as it tends to grow in waterlogged soil or near waterways. Mint is perfect for flavoring lemonade in summer.

2 – SAGE:

Sage has a delicious scent, which is why it is often used in aromatherapy. You can also use sage to spice up eggs, chicken, lamb or pineapple. Take as much as you need and add it to your favorite dish. Sage needs light, but not necessarily direct sunlight.

3 – BASIL:

It is another of the star plants, you will not need an air freshener with the aroma that its leaves give off. Cut a few branches and fill the pot halfway, wait a week and it will start to take root. Place the pot in the sun and mix it with willow cuttings, which will make rooting easier as it acts as a natural rooting agent.

4 – COLEUS:
