Productive Cough

Organic tulsi (holy basil) tea may help with phlegm and respiratory issues. Tulsi has expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which can help loosen mucus, reduce congestion, and soothe the throat. It is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine to support respiratory health.

Drinking warm tulsi tea may help clear phlegm, especially when combined with honey and ginger. 

Manuka Honey and Lemon

Lemon with Manuka honey (UMF 20+) can be highly effective in helping with phlegm. Here's why:

Manuka Honey (UMF 20+): This high-grade honey has strong antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. It helps reduce throat irritation, suppress coughs, and break down mucus.

Lemon: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, lemon can help boost the immune system, thin mucus, and reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract.

How It Helps with Phlegm:

The combination of warm water, lemon, and Manuka honey can loosen thick mucus, making it easier to expel.

Honey coats the throat, reducing irritation and cough reflexes.

Lemon’s acidity helps break down mucus build-up and clear congestion.

Suggested Use:

Mix 1 tablespoon of Manuka honey (UMF 20+) with warm (not hot) water and the juice of half a lemon.

Drink it once or twice a day, especially in the morning and before bed.

This remedy can be particularly effective when used alongside tulsi tea, steam inhalation, and staying hydrated.
