In this days a simple cough can make us really panicked because of the COVID 19 virus especially when the on whose coughing is us or our love ones. In our house when someone is sick and having a cough we usually use or eat some natural medicine that can be mixed with drinks or our foods.
The Natural and can be found in our Home Remedy
Honey - we use honey in many different ways but one of my favorite use of honey is mixing it with lemons. Because the when you mixed your honey to your lemoned water it makes it taste quite sweet. We drink it even though we are not experiencing cough or cold because it is simply delicious. You can just eat honey alone because it taste good but you just have to be careful to eat too much because it may cause you hurt your throat.

Turmeric- turmeric we also called it "luyang dilaw" this plant looks like ginger. This plant have a lot of benefits and can help cure a lot of diseases that's why when you search about the benefits of this plant you can found a lot on it. There are 2 ways that we use this plant it's either we gets its juice or we booked it in water for us to drink it.
Way 1 : The Juice Extraction
First that you need to do is to wash it carefully and make sure that you can get rid of all dirt in it. After that you need to have a grater because you will grate it into pieces. By the way you need to be ready because it stains your hands and your grater and it is hard to remove it. After you grate all of it into tiny piece you need to put on a clean cloth for you to extract the juice in it then you can now drink it like that. 1 consume at least 1-2 spoons of it's juice when I drink it.
Way 2 : The Boiling Method
The first thing you need to do is just like in the juice extraction you need to wash it thoroughly until it wash clean. After you will put it in the pot and add water to it. Remember that it might stain your pots that's why I suggest to your old pots as long as it was clean and still usable. After that you will until it boils around 10-15 minutes then you can now drink it boiled water it doesn't taste like anything to me that's why I am adding a little bit of honey into it when I drink it. You can still use the boiled turmeric next you just have to next time you just will add water to it and boiled it again. You can use it up to 3 times.

Calamansi - we use calamansi to make calamansi juice I guess most of us already know to make it right?. You just need to get the juice of the calamansi by cutting it in half and squish it then add some hot or cold depending on what you want. You can add a little bit of sugar or honey depending on your taste.

Oregano- it is green leaf plant and for me I don't really like using drinking this one I prefer the above ones because we drink when our cough is really heavy. The first thing we do is to wash the leaves and extract the juices from it. Then we drink it right away.
