Tulsi for Cold and Cough Relief in Kids
When our children catch a cough or cold, parents are often reluctant to give them over-the-counter medicines, considering their side effects.
This is where Tulsi comes in as a natural aid to treat, and not just suppress, cough.
The active compounds in it, such as eugenol and camphene, help open airways, reduce inflammation, and fight infections.
They are also gentle on a child’s system.
How to Use Tulsi ?
Here are some ways to incorporate it into your child’s routine:
- Cough Drops: A simple and easy way for kids to enjoy Tulsi. You can make them easily with ingredients commonly found in the kitchen. These drops taste good and are suitable for both dry and wet coughs.
- Tea: Ayurvedic Tulsi tea for cough relief is a great alternative for older children. A few fresh Basil leaves boiled in water make for soothing tea! Add a bit of honey for a comforting beverage to soothe coughs and sore throats.
- Syrup: Boiling Tulsi leaves until the water reduces by half gives you concentrated Tulsi syrup. Adding honey and ginger syrup makes it a potent cough remedy that soothes the throat and relieves symptoms of cough and sore throat.
