Joshandah

I think many of us here have heard of it and had a blessing to taste and drink it as well. It tastes VERY bitter from what I can recall. I remember my parents would instantly try to make us dirnk that if us kids got cold/flu.

I have never got a chance to actually read the ingredients and see what this drink is really about? Anyone know why we desis stress on it too much? I know its a herbal thing but what kind of herbals - that I am not sure about.

I can google it as well but wanted to hear about your experiences =)

horrible and never going to touch again

Re: Joshandah

I think (only a guess) that joshanda has lots of antioxidants that just boost your immunity to fight cold.

Re: Joshandah

Joshanda works wonders for my cold/flu/fever. I started drinking it when I went to Pakistan and was down with this ridiculous flu for 2 weeks until my grandpa brought me some good ol’ joshanda and I was healthy and happy again :sheyn1: been a fan of it ever since.

Re: Joshandah

yes saunf as well

but i think liqrice is the best
make tea of liqrice that works fine.
liqrice you could find from chemiststs anywhere is black in color.

I used to be sufferer of flue all the time and consumed tons of jushanda but now alhamdulilah iam fine now.
lois gi you needs to find real causes of flue? becaue when i found out flue is like a dream for me

Re: Joshandah

Whenever I get a cold I always drink Joshanda. It doesn't taste so bad if you mix it with honey :)

Re: Joshandah

Lois, I had Johar joshanda just last week and it's fantastic in both taste and effect. In fact I bought some more today. It helps soothe all cold and flue symptoms very quickly.

i really like joshanda and it tastes so nice...now i am cravign for it:D God have mercy :$

and its not at all bitter...when i last went to pak i brought one big pack of it and it lasts long..very effective:)

I tried it and liked it. Most cough syrups seem to have no effect on my cough but after taking joshanda I usually feel some relief. It tastes fine to me. Sometimes I just drink it like that.
