This recipe isn’t just any over-the-counter solution; it’s a cherished concoction passed down from my mother-in-law, revered in our family for its effectiveness in treating coughs the natural way. It’s stood the test of time and has been a go-to remedy in our household for many years.

The Magic of Walnuts and Onions
Walnuts and onions might seem like an unusual combination, but they work wonders when it comes to respiratory health.
- Walnuts: Rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, walnuts are great for overall health, especially for the lungs.
- Onions: Known for their expectorant properties, onions can help in loosening mucus in the chest, thereby relieving cough.
Let’s Make the Remedy!
- Preparation: Start by gathering your ingredients. Make sure the walnuts are fresh and the onions are nicely peeled.
- Cooking: In a pot, combine the whole walnuts (with their shells), onions, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- The Waiting Game: Let the mixture simmer until about half of the liquid remains. This concentrates the beneficial properties of the ingredients.
- Straining: Once done, strain the mixture. You’ll be left with a potent, health-packed liquid.
- Usage: Drink a small cup of this concoction throughout the day. It’s best consumed warm for maximum benefit.
