Traditional Chinese Medicine for Wind Cough – No Need for Western Medicine! Enthusiastic Netizen (Username: Yutian Muzi, QQ: 15791583): Hello, I’d like to share a folk remedy that works well for treating wind cough. The method is as follows: 2g of raw licorice root, 2g of chrysanthemum, and 2 dark plums make one dose. Steep them in hot water and drink it to treat wind cough. I’ve used it myself. For about a year, I would cough whenever my period came due to weakened immunity, and I had to get IV drips. Then, I came across an episode of *Chinese Medicine* where a teacher who couldn’t work due to severe coughing was cured using this remedy. However, he first adjusted his condition with traditional Chinese medicine and then drank this infusion. I steep one dose daily, and after about ten days, the cough subsides, so I stop drinking it. If the cough returns, I start drinking it again. Persisting with this method for a while makes it less likely to recur!
