Effective Remedy for Chronic Cough, Cold, Allergies, Respiratory Disorders, and More
This traditional herbal formulation has been used for ages to provide relief from chronic cough (black cough), cold, cough with phlegm, allergies, sinus issues, nasal bone growth, gas, acidity, lung diseases, and throat infections. The inclusion of Aak (Calotropis), Mulaithi (Licorice/Glycyrrhiza glabra), and other natural ingredients enhances its therapeutic effects, promoting overall wellness.
Ingredients:
- Aak (Calotropis) Leaves: Known for its anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties, Aak helps alleviate respiratory disorders, cough, and nasal blockages.
- Mulaithi (Licorice/Glycyrrhiza glabra): Renowned for its soothing effect on the throat, Mulaithi helps relieve cough, asthma, and digestive issues. It also strengthens the immune system and acts as an expectorant.
- Mishri (Crystallized Sugar): Used to balance the bitterness of the herbs and add natural sweetness to the syrup.
- Water: For extracting the medicinal properties of Aak leaves and Mulaithi.
Preparation Method:
Prepare the Aak Leaves:
- Pick fresh Aak leaves and clean them with a cloth, washing them thoroughly with water to remove dirt and impurities.
- Cut the leaves into small pieces to help in better extraction of the juice.
Prepare Mulaithi (Licorice):
- Take Mulaithi (Licorice) roots or powder. If using whole roots, chop them into small pieces. If using powdered Mulaithi, measure the appropriate amount.
- Mulaithi has natural anti-inflammatory, soothing, and expectorant properties that help in treating cough, cold, and respiratory issues. It also supports the immune system and aids digestion.
Extract the Juice:
- In a grinder, combine the chopped Aak leaves and Mulaithi (root pieces or powder). Add a small amount of water to help blend the mixture into a smooth paste.
- Extract the juice by straining it through a clean cloth or fine mesh to remove any solid particles.
Boil the Extract:
- Pour the strained Aak-Mulaithi extract into a clean iron or steel pan.
- Heat the mixture on low flame. As it heats, a greenish scum will form on the surface. Remove this scum carefully with a spoon or cloth. Continue this process until no more scum forms.
Add Mishri (Crystallized Sugar):
- Once the frothing stops, add Mishri (crystallized sugar) to the pan. The amount of Mishri should be half the weight of the total extract. For example, if you have 2 kg of Aak-Mulaithi extract, add 1000 grams of Mishri.
- Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely into the mixture.
Reduce to Syrup:
- Keep simmering the mixture on low heat. Stir occasionally and let it thicken. The syrup should gradually reduce in volume and attain a two-string consistency (this means that when you take a little syrup between two fingers, it should form two strings before separating).
- The active compounds of both Aak and Mulaithi will concentrate, creating a potent syrup.
Cool and Strain:
- Once the syrup reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat and let it cool.
- Strain the syrup once more through a clean cloth to remove any remaining solid particles or impurities.
Store the Syrup:
- After cooling completely, store the syrup in glass bottles for future use. This syrup can last for several months if stored in a cool, dry place.
Dosage:
For Adults: Take (approximately 2 teaspoons) mixed with lukewarm water 3 times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening.
For Children (5-12 years): Administer 1 TSF mixed with lukewarm water 3 times a day.
For Children (1-3 years): Administer 1/4 TSF mixed with lukewarm water 2-3 times a day.
