Note when treating cough with honey garlic

Dr. Thuy said that when using fresh garlic, you should crush, mince or crush it before using it to bring out the full benefits of garlic. The active ingredient allicin in garlic produces the smell of garlic. Some products that don’t have a garlic scent are easier to use but likely to be less effective, except for essential oil capsules.

Use time should only be from 3-5 days, usually no more than 1 week.

In addition, the doctor gave a note, children should not use garlic for a long time to strengthen their resistance in any form.

According to the concept of Eastern medicine, children are pure yang without sound. If using drugs with yang and heat properties like garlic for a long time, it can increase the yang part, damage the yin part, thereby harming the body’s own qi. At that time, the child is more susceptible to diseases, the body becomes hot and loses more new fluids. The baby’s breath also has an unpleasant smell and the baby’s taste buds will be worse.

For adults, to ensure safety, it is also necessary to consult a medical professional about the dose and duration of use; especially for people with chronic diseases and taking medication.
