Mix Bananas, Honey and Water To Make Cough and Bronchitis Disappear Like Magic

When you catch a cold, it often turn into bronchitis, which is sometimes called a chest cold. It’s important to recognize what’s normal and to know when something more serious is going on.

A cough is a common cold symptom. It’s the body’s way of getting rid of phlegm or mucus. But if a cough persists after the cold is gone, contact your doctor.

Bronchitis can be caused in two forms, namely acute and chronic. The acute bronchitis usually lasts for one to three weeks. On the other hand, chronic bronchitis lasts for three months to two years, and usually requires regular medical treatment, as it is a serious long-term disorder.

For either acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis, signs and symptoms may include:

– Cough
– Production of mucus (sputum), which can be clear, white, yellowish-gray or green in color — rarely, it may be streaked with blood
– Fatigue
– Shortness of breath
– Slight fever and chills
– Chest discomfort

To treat bronchitis, people often try over-the-counter medications. However, there are several home remedies to treat the symptoms of bronchitis. One of them is by using banana and honey.

BANANA CREAM AGAINST COUGHING

Ingredients:

– 400 ml of boiling water
– 2 medium ripe bananas with dots
– 2 tablespoons of honey (add it when the mixture is cooled because honey loses its nutrients at high temperatures)

Method of preparation:

1. Peel the bananas.
2. Mash them with a fork or a spoon. You should use a wooden or plastic spoon/ fork, since in that
    way you will prevent bananas from darkening.
3. Add the sugar and stir well.
4. If you decide to use honey, add it at the end, when this mixture is cooled.
5. Pour the boiling water over them, cover and wait for 30 minutes.

If you want, you can strain the mixture through a plastic strainer.

Dosage:

You should prepare a new dosage every day. Always gently heat the mixture before use. Consume it 4 times a day (about 100 ml). Your cough will eventually stop in a few days.

Benefits:

* Honey

The antiviral as well as antibacterial properties of honey are considered useful to treat bronchitis. Honey helps soothe the throat. Moreover, it also builds strong immune system.

* Banana

For dry coughs and whooping cough, a drink made from bananas can work like an expectorant and help break up the cough. Banana also improve your sleep quality since it increases the night time serotonin levels.
