EAT RADISH, A NATURAL HOME REMEDY FOR COUGHS
RAW RADISH SLICES |
I had 2maids, one to just clean the house, as dust will trigger his Asthmatic attacks. Bedcovers, pillow cases have to be washed daily, even put out his mattress in the sun daily too. No carpets, no toys. Daily steam bath for 30mins, every 3am-took him to the balcony for a whiff of fresh air, to ease his endless coughing. I tried all tips…
Then, i found a book on FOOD CURES & REMEDY- this American Chinese Doctor… I tried all his remedial tips & alhamdulliah- found the cure. NO MORE ASTHMATIC ATTACKS from age 2yrs till 19yrs now- it disappeared!! I followed this RADISH FOOD CURE.
I blend about 5cm (or2inches) white radish with sugar/honey and fruits, for a more flavorful taste and sometimes with ice cubes. DRINK FRESH. He will sleep peacefully until the next day. I cut thin slices & add in fried rice, cucur udang, soups, mixed vegetables and noodles. When we travel, I will prepare radish cubes, boil in a little water till tender. If he coughs, i gave him a few cubes to chew.
Alternative recipe is to grate the radish, then marinate for half hour with lime or orange juice. For children,
eat 1 tablespoon of grated radish at a time and 2 tablespoons for adult. Today, at the slightest signs of an oncoming flu, i sure include radish in our family diet.
I GAVE THE SAME TIPS TO A FEW PROBLEMATIC KIDS (Asthma) and it worked too.

If you dont have fishballs, can use anchovies (boil a little longer), and reduce the salt.
