Benefits of the Ingredients:
Sage: Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, sage is effective in relieving cold symptoms, including sore throats and coughs. Sage in milk is particularly beneficial for dry coughs and helps to clear mucus from the lungs, improving sleep quality.
Honey: A natural cough soother and throat irritant reliever, honey enhances the effectiveness of the remedy, especially when mixed with warm milk.
Turmeric: This spice is renowned for its health benefits and is often used in “golden milk.” Combined with honey, turmeric’s antibacterial and antiviral properties are amplified, making it a potent addition to the drink.
This homemade remedy can aid in loosening mucus and soothing irritated mucous membranes. However, if a cough persists for more than a week, it’s important to consult a doctor as it may be indicative of a more serious condition.
