Just 3 tablespoons a day, this recipe loosens phlegm from the lungs, improves cough, flu, and treats sinusitis

Frequent changes in the weather can be particularly challenging for those with weak immune systems or low natural defenses. To support the body during these times, I recommend preparing a natural syrup using simple, healing ingredients.

Ingredients

• Onion
• Garlic
• Carrot
• Ginger
• Lemon
• Honey

This blend is often called a natural “phlegm remover” due to its powerful effects on the respiratory system.

Health Benefits of Each Ingredient

Onion

Raw onions are packed with valuable compounds, particularly quercetin, a natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibiotic. Including raw onion in the syrup maximizes its healing properties.

Ginger

Ginger helps to thin out mucus, clear the airways, and ease congestion. It also offers pain relief, lowers fever, and fights bacterial infections. As a strong expectorant, it assists the lungs in expelling built-up mucus.

Lemon

Lemons, like garlic and honey, are excellent immune boosters. They also carry antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Their essential oils, pectin, malic acid, and citric acid help reduce dry coughing, loosen mucus, and soothe throat irritation.

Garlic

Garlic acts as a natural antibiotic, largely thanks to its high allicin content. It is effective against chesty coughs, high fevers, chills, and sore throats that often accompany viral infections.

Carrot

Rich in antioxidants, carrots help combat respiratory issues by boosting the body’s defense cells. Their abundant vitamin A and carotenoids play a major role in strengthening the immune system.

Honey

Honey is a well-known natural antibiotic that prevents colds, coughs, and the flu. It also soothes sore throats with its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.

How to Prepare the Natural Syrup

1. Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot.

2. Place all the chopped ingredients into a clean jar.

3. Squeeze the juice of two lemons over the mixture.

4. Pour honey over the ingredients until well-covered.

5. Seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator.

How to Use

Take 3 tablespoons of the syrup daily.

With consistent use, you’ll notice your lungs feeling refreshed and clear, thanks to the powerful natural ingredients.
