As the winter months arrive, so does the season of runny nose and sore throat. It's hard to wake up with a stuffy nose and sore throat. The feeling of facing the weather all day is tiring. To relax yourself, instead of drinking coffee in the morning, drink a cup of water mixed with lemon and cloves.
Lemon contains high amounts of Vitamin C. This increases immunity. Along with this, drinking it loosens the throat and phlegm. Which makes it easier to get out. At the same time, cloves have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. They contain compounds like eugenol and gallic acid, which act as antioxidants and help maintain cell health.
They also say that cloves are a cough suppressant, which helps calm the cough response and improve breathing. Which leads to comfortable sleep. They also help clear the respiratory tract. This is why they are especially beneficial during cold and cough.
Before adding lemon juice and honey to water, heat it. Let cool to a comfortable temperature. To preserve the vitamin C content of the water and prevent bitterness, do not add the lemon when it is hot. Add one spoon honey to it for good taste.
If you have cold, cough or sore throat then drink this drink daily for a week to ten days.
Although this drink is safe for most people, people with peptic ulcers, esophageal problems, or throat sensitivity to citrus should use this remedy with caution. Adding honey can help reduce the acidity of the lemon.
