Desi remedies for illness

Lifestyle Health & Fitness

So I have got a cold/flu of some sort and my mum and grandma are hell bent on me trying their home made/ desi concoctions and remedies to ease the symptoms and get well again. The last thing they made me try was boiled water with honey, ginger and black pepper which was utterly DISGUSTING.

What home made remedies have my fellow paklinks/Gupshup users been given or made to try?

When I have a sore throat or a cold where I am coughing a lot...

Water with honey, ginger, salt and black pepper is the best thing...I've also added turmeric to the mix and that helps a lot as well.

For a sore throat I gargle with hot salt water. Works wonders. So does ginger tea and warm haldi-milk
