Have you ever tried onion, ginger, garlic, carom seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, Indian basil etc ??
I have started listing few of the tried and tested home remedies for my family. Since I know a little bit about onion, ginger, garlic and to give some relief to my painful throat I prepared a simple yet wonderful onion garlic soup.
Onion and garlic both have antifungal and antibacterial properties, put slices of onion in socks and it will draw the high fever.
Do you know that after you have crushed/ chopped the garlic leave it for 15 minutes at the room temperature and it will trigger a chemical reaction in the garlic to maximizes the health benefits?

I didn’t add much pepper to it as gave this to my baby also to soothe her bad cough.
