A tasty recipe for stuffy noses
Buried under a mound full of Kleenex could be the remains of a tired, sick, and listless person. A person begging for some relief of the stuffy nose and phlegmy cough that won’t seem to go away.
Over the counter, cold medicines can be costly and when you are so sick, taking a trip to your pantry may seem easier than a trip to the local pharmacy.
A natural and tasty way to relieve the symptoms of congestion and cough is to whip up a homemade recipe of ingredients that are powerful and effective and have been used for many centuries in far east cultures.
Cayenne Pepper is a natural decongestant. It’s powerhouse compound, capsaicin, helps to alleviate pressure and relieve swelling, acting as an anti-inflammatory, to clear out nasal passages.
Ginger is an anti-inflammatory rooted-herb that can help loosen phlegm and mucous from the lungs making it easier to cough it up.
