The principle of antitussive action of radish juice with honey

The remedy is a combination of two powerful natural cough suppressants - radish and honey. Thanks to this composition, it is suitable for the treatment of almost any colds. The radish contains a large amount of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant (eliminates toxic products of metabolic reactions), strengthens the immune system, and increases the body's natural resistance. In addition, the radish contains natural antibiotics and other medicinal substances, due to which it has an anti-inflammatory and even some antipyretic effect.

The second component, honey, is equally useful. Like other beekeeping products, it contains a large amount of trace elements that improve metabolic processes in the body. It also enhances the body's resistance to aggressive factors, promotes a full-fledged immune response. Honey also has a local effect - relieves irritation of the mucous membrane, has a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effect.

Black radish

Recipe 1 … Prepare a fairly large black radish root vegetable. The product should be fresh, whole, without cracks, evenly colored (there should be no stains). Old radish will not work, because there is little juice in it, the same applies to unripe, green. The root crop should be thoroughly washed and cut off the top - the so-called "lid". Simply cut off a small portion of the vegetable rind horizontally at the very top. After that, they begin to prepare the "bowl". In the pulp of the root crop, you need to cut out a depression with a knife or spoon without damaging the walls. The juice will collect here. As for the size of the groove, calculate so that a tablespoon of honey will fit plus the same amount of juice obtained. It is advisable to take honey not candied, but the main thing is that it is natural. Putting a spoonful of honey insidecover with a lid and leave to infuse overnight (8-10 hours will be enough).

Recipe 2. Take a washed root vegetable, peel it, cut it into small cubes. Pieces of radish should be folded into a clean glass jar, layered with honey. You do not need to screw the lid on, just one layer of bandage or gauze. Insist the remedy in a dark place for two to three days, while the honey may darken, gradually it becomes much more liquid due to the fact that the root crop gives off a lot of juice.

The resulting gruel is wrapped in cheesecloth and squeezed thoroughly to get as much juice as possible. Add a tablespoon of honey to a bowl with squeezed juice and mix. As soon as the honey is completely dissolved and the syrup takes on a homogeneous consistency, the drug is ready for administration.
