Spring is in February and we often hear someone coughing or sneezing, not to mention a stuffy nose. Teas, rest, honey, it's usually what we usually resort to first, but it's not always that effective.
Instead of visiting the nearest pharmacy to buy lozenges or syrup for your persistent cough and sore throat, sometimes it is better to look in your drawer and prepare a very simple and natural syrup that will solve all your ailments.
Bay leaves are
often used in the kitchen as an addition to dishes, giving them a special
aroma, and bay essential oil is great for inhaling and disinfecting rooms,
especially during flu season.
The leaves of
this evergreen plant are rich in various minerals, vitamin B and are an
excellent choice for immunity protection due to their antiseptic and
anti-inflammatory effect.
To prepare the syrup, only three ingredients are needed: bay leaf, water and brown sugar or honey.
Ingredients for syrup:6 pieces of
dried bay leaf
1 lemon
3-4 teaspoons of
brown sugar or honey
Preparation:
Boil 2.5 dcl of
water in a bowl.
Add 6 dried bay
leaves to the water and cook covered for 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove the
leaves and transfer the liquid to another container.
Mix sugar and
juice of one lemon in a bowl and mix everything well.
Take a teaspoon of the syrup up to three times a day, especially during strong coughing fits.
