Carrot Stuffed with Rock Sugar: A Natural Remedy for Cough Without Visiting the Pharmacy! From a Passionate Netizen (Xiao Jun, QQ 12252157): Hello, I’ve read many of your home remedies, especially the dietary ones, which are non-toxic, harmless, and beneficial to countless families. I’m also a beneficiary of your remedies, so thank you! I’d like to share a small remedy for coughs. I’ve always been prone to coughing. I’ve spent a lot of money at hospitals, and while it helped for a while, the cough would always return. I’ve tried various remedies, and while some worked, they didn’t address the root cause. This remedy, however, is highly effective. Here’s how to use it: Take one carrot (do not peel it), cut off the top about a finger’s width thick, then carve out a small hole in the remaining part of the carrot. Place a few pieces of rock sugar inside the hole, cover it with the top you cut off, and stand the carrot upright in a bag of rice, ensuring the rice covers the carrot completely. After three days, gently remove the carrot. The rock sugar will have melted into water. Drink this water, and the effect is immediate—your cough will stop right away. The water is also very sweet, so you don’t need to drink much. I only drank a small spoonful, and my cough stopped that very night. I finished the rest of the water later, and since then, I haven’t had a recurring cough. It’s been several years now, and I no longer suffer from persistent coughing. If I occasionally cough a little, drinking plain water is enough to resolve it. This remedy has completely cured my chronic cough. I stumbled upon this remedy from someone else and later recommended it to friends around me—it worked for them too! Contributed by: Teacher Pang Xiaoying (National Senior Nutritionist)
