Whether it's winter or summer, people suffering from asthma often find it difficult to breathe. If you're also struggling with bronchial inflammation or excessive mucus, nature has provided us with an excellent remedy in licorice root.
What makes licorice so special? It contains glycyrrhizin and flavonoids that help reduce inflammation in the airways. It acts as a natural expectorant, thinning and loosening mucus to help you breathe more easily.
Here's a simple yet effective home remedy you can try today:
Take two teaspoons of licorice root powder and one cinnamon stick. Add them to two cups of water and boil thoroughly until the water reduces by half and the essence is extracted. Strain the mixture and keep it ready for use.
When using this remedy, first inhale the steam from the hot tea through your nose, then drink the tea when it's warm but not too hot. For best results, use this remedy two to three times daily.
Important precaution: If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, please consult your doctor before using licorice as it may interact with certain medications.
