I spent Heritage day 2010 with my mum in the kitchen, making the Indian version of Med-Lemon, also known as king soup. While the secret to the great family recipe was cremated with my late grandmother {who could turn anything into a feast}, this recipe is a close second. And yes, it works to sooth a sore throat and makes you sweat away a cold, before you know it, you’re flu free and as good as new..

sore throat is not a lot of fun its just uncomfortable and difficult to swallow.
ReplyDeleteusually, i would take the Nim Jiom Cough Syrup (www.geocities.jp/ninjiom_hong_kong/index_e.htm ) which has a thick consistency formulation. it coats the throat and includes herbs that are particularly good for that application.
i hope it works on you as well.
