6 Simple Asian recipes to relieve cough and cold

January 12, 2023

6 Simple Asian Recipes to relieve cough and coldIt’s the cold season again, and we all know that along with the cool morning and evening breezes, flu, cough, and runny nose are also common. Traditional medicine is ingrained in the cultural DNA of many Asians. Medicinal herbs have already gained traction as a complementary therapy in the mainstream health care system, particularly during the Covid-19, when conventional drugs were insufficient to relieve symptoms, let alone cure them.

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most popular Asian medicinal recipes for coughs and colds. These recipes, which differ in preparation but have essentially the same ingredients, are said to be packed with the medicinal value of the natural ingredients used, as well as aiding in hydration and nutrition to help boost the immune system. However, before taking specific ingredients or if symptoms persist, consult your healthcare provider.

Rice porridge

Rice porridge is a classic comfort food that is popular throughout Asia and is usually given to the sick to help them recover and regain energy. The soup recipe is simple and inexpensive, consisting of rice boiled in broth and delicately seasoned with ginger, spices, and occasionally added with vegetables and other toppings.

Ginger tea

Because ginger is abundant in Asia, this time-honored tea concoction is a popular remedy. Infuse fresh ginger in freshly boiled water. Drink the tea while it’s still warm.

Kadha

This immunity-boosting drink, popular in Indian households, is made by combining one tablespoon each of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper with three cups of water. Bring concoction to a boil until it is reduced to one cup liquid. Honey may be added. Drink while it’s still warm.

Haldi ka Doodh

This anti-inflammatory ayurvedic drink, also known as turmeric milk or golden milk, is made by simmering a cup of milk with a teaspoon of turmeric. Honey can be used to sweeten it.

Tamagozake

This is a Japanese recipe. Tamagozake, literally “egg alcohol,” is made by heating a raw egg with sake and honey until it is creamy in consistency. It is usually advised to consume the drink before going to bed.

Jamu

This turmeric-tamarind blend is an Indonesian medicinal favorite that uses equal parts shredded fresh turmeric roots (blanched to remove the raw taste) and tamarind (soaked in water to soften then mixed with hot water to make a paste). Combine and brew in enough water, then season with black pepper and sugar to taste.
