An Asian remedy for persistent coughs: Try lemon and ketchup together

Squeeze ketchup over the cut lemon and eat!

In these days when winter viruses are making their presence felt and coughs are constantly heard in homes, offices, and public transport, the BBC asks: Which is better for coughs? Lemon or medication?

Both have their advantages, but let’s suggest something else. This is a method that’s been tried and proven effective in Asia. For people with persistent coughs, the Asian method is lemon and ketchup. Add a little ketchup to a cut lemon, eat it, and wait. Repeat this throughout the day. Over time, you’ll see your cough subside.

This is a harmless method. It’s much better than constantly taking medication, and it has zero side effects. Try it, and if it doesn’t work, stop and try other methods.
