“Breathe Easy: A Natural Lung-Clearing Drink to Stop Coughing in Just 3 Days”

Here’s what you’ll need to make this lung-cleansing, cough-soothing drink:

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon raw honey

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • A pinch of black pepper (to enhance absorption of turmeric)

  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for an extra expectorant kick)


Preparation

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle simmer (not boiling).

  2. Add turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  4. Stir in the lemon juice and honey once the liquid is warm—not hot—to preserve their medicinal properties.

  5. Pour into a mug and sip slowly.


Serving and Storage Tips

  • Drink warm, preferably on an empty stomach in the morning and again before bed for 3 consecutive days.

  • You may also sip it throughout the day for chronic cough or mucus congestion.

  • Store any leftover in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and reheat gently before drinking.

  • Always stir before drinking, as natural ingredients will settle at the bottom.


Variants

  • Immune-Boosting Blend: Add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for antibacterial support.

  • Soothing Syrup Version: Boil down the mixture to a thicker consistency and store in the fridge to take by spoon.

  • Herbal Infusion: Steep thyme or eucalyptus leaves in the hot water before mixing in other ingredients.

  • Caffeine-Free Tea Base: Use warm herbal tea (like licorice root or mullein) instead of plain water for deeper respiratory benefits.
