OK believe me, I have done these with great results:

For colic/indigestion in kids or adults:
Boil a teaspoon of ajwain in a cup of water until it is reduced to half the quantity. Cool and give a teaspoonful every few hours.

For nasal/chest congestion:
Take a white onion. Grate it or chop it. Add rock sugar (misri). Leave for a few minutes till water is released from onion. Squeeze out the water and drink it.

For a tickle in the throat, a sore throat:
Boil a cup of milk with a teaspoon of turmeric (haldi). Add a spoon of honey and drink it up.

For coughs:
Salt & warm water gargles
A tablespoon of honey with cracked black pepper

Please add on and share your magic totkas!

Wow, I was looking for something like this. Acha, you know the sore throat one? It doesn’t taste NASTY does it?
