Cough is a contagious disease that when somebody in the family has this, it has the tendency to contaminate to all the family members. Whooping cough disturbs your sleep at night and ruin your activities for the day. I find radish and onions very effective to cure cough. No side effects and you don't have to spend much.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 pc. regular size radish
  • 1pc. regular size onion
  • blender
  • pinch of salt
  1. Step 1

    Wash and peel the radish. Then slice the radish in bite size, set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Wash and chop the onion and combine it with the radish.

  3. Step 3

    Put the onion and radish all together in a blender. Blend it until it turns into juice.

  4. Step 4

    Strain the blended radish and onion to take out the pulp. Put the finished product in a glass. (1/4) glass measurement for adult and 1tbsp. for kids 7 and up yr. old.

  5. Step 5

    Let your patient drink it right away. The taste is not really good but it is very effective to get rid of the bacteria.

  6. Step 6

    Do the process 3-4 times a day if the coughing is really worse.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not mix the onion and radish juice with water. Make it pure
  • You can double or triple the ingredients and put it in the refrigerator to save your time doing it 2-4 times a day.
  • kids below 7 might not be able to tolerate the taste, don't let them.
