How to treat cough with myrobalan
When you have a sore throat or feel difficulty swallowing or slight pain in the throat when swallowing, you should treat it immediately by: holding one myrobalan fruit in your mouth, swallowing the juice slowly until the astringent substance is gone. After a few hours, if you still feel uncomfortable, hold another fruit in your mouth.
You can peel a piece of fresh turmeric the size of your thumb and suck it like myrobalan. You should suck it right away when you feel difficulty swallowing. Just sucking on one myrobalan will cure your sore throat.
If you use the medicine late, take 3 fruits every day for 2-3 days and sore throat, dry cough, and loss of voice will all be cured. Another way is to combine 8g of myrobalan with 6g of licorice, 10g of Platycodon grandiflorum, boil to get water to drink every day.
Used a lot in treating coughs with phlegm for children: roast the myrobalan, then drop it into a cup of hot water with a little salt for the child to suck, very effective.
Chronic cough: use 4g of myrobalan and codonopsis pilosula each, boil with 400ml, divide into 1/2 and drink 3 times.
Other medicinal uses of myrobalan
Myrobalan fruit is a medicinal herb used to treat chronic diarrhea, chronic dysentery, spermatorrhea, night sweats, hemorrhoids, and leukorrhea. Use 3-6g per day in the form of decoction or pills. 3-6 medium-sized fruits are enough to cause a laxative effect, so do not overdose.
