pineapple, and chalk powder mixed with water.


Whooping Cough treatments using Home Remedies


Whooping Cough treatment using Garlic


Garlic is one of the most effective remedies for whooping cough. The syrup of
garlic should be given in doses of five drops to a teaspoon, two or three times a
day, for treating this condition. It should be given more often if the coughing
spells are frequent and violent.


Whooping Cough treatment using Ginger


Ginger is another effective remedy for whooping cough. A teaspoon of fresh
ginger juice, mixed with a cup of fenugreek decoction and honey to taste, is an
excellent diaphoretic. The fenugreek decoction can be made by boiling one
teaspoon of seeds in 250 ml of water till it is reduced to half.


Whooping Cough treatment using Radish


Syrup prepared by mixing a teaspoon of fresh radish juice with an equal quantity
of honey and a little rock salt, is beneficial in the treatment of this disease. It
should be given thrice daily.


Whooping Cough treatment using Almond Oil


Almond oil is valuable in whooping cough. Five drops of almond oil should be
mixed with ten drops each of fresh white onion juice and ginger juice, and taken
thrice daily for a fortnight. It will provide relief.


Whooping Cough treatment using Calamus


The herb calamus is another valuable remedy for whooping cough. A pinch of the
powder of the roasted herb should be given with a teaspoon of honey. Being
antispasmodic, it prevents severe bouts of coughing. For smaller children, the
dose must be proportionately smaller.
