:) In viral if we used boiled water of Tulsi, ginger and black pipper (Kawath) with modern medicine, we can recover much fast.
We use a lot of such home remedies which are safe since they have no side effects and are quite helpful.I make ginger,honey and lime juice mixture with a dash of pepper powder , which is very helpful when you have cough and sore throat..
In our place, we use leaves of a plant called Nongmankha in local language for treating cough and cold. I don't know what it is called in English. Its leaves have a bitter taste somewhat like that of neem. Its scientific name is Phlogacanthus thyrsiflorus. When one suffers from cough and cold, we bath with hot water in which leaves of that plant has been added. It brings immediate relief. Actually, here people often use home remedies for treating minor ailments.
Every one not knowing even our natural herbs are used in medicines to get benefits. But all are using blindly that medicines and forgotten our natural medicines.
