Homemade Remedy for Cough, Bronchitis, and Sore Throat: Egg Yolk, Honey, Butter, and Milk

 

If you’re dealing with a persistent cough, sore throat, bronchitis, or even loss of voice, this natural remedy is a lifesaver. Using simple ingredients like egg yolk, honey, butter, and milk, you can create a soothing mixture that helps relieve symptoms and boosts recovery. Here’s how you can make it at home.


Ingredients

  1. Egg yolk – Fresh and full of nutrients, it provides soothing and healing properties.
  2. Honey – Preferably acacia honey for its hypoallergenic and antimicrobial benefits.
  3. Butter – Softened to bind the ingredients and provide a smooth texture.
  4. Warm milk – Gently heated to dissolve the butter and make the mixture easy to consume.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Check Egg Freshness
    • Take a deep glass of water.
    • Drop the egg into the water.
      • If it floats: The egg is old and should not be used.
      • If it sinks: It’s fresh and good to use.
  2. Separate the Yolk
    • Carefully crack the egg and separate the yolk from the white into two bowls.
  3. Mix the Ingredients
    • Add 1 fresh egg yolk to a bowl.
    • Add 1 teaspoon of honey (or more to taste). Acacia honey is ideal, but any high-quality honey works.
    • Mix these two ingredients well until smooth.
  4. Add Softened Butter
    • Take a small piece of butter, softened at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
    • Mix it into the egg yolk and honey. It’s okay if small lumps remain.
  5. Add Warm Milk
    • Heat 3 tablespoons of milk to about 60°C (140°F). Avoid boiling the milk.
    • Pour the warm milk into the mixture and stir until smooth.

How to Use

  • Drink the remedy slowly in small sips or take it by the spoon.
  • Morning on an empty stomach: For best results.
  • Before bed: If you have a night cough.

Benefits

  • Cough Relief: Soothes irritation and reduces coughing fits.
  • Bronchitis Support: Helps reduce inflammation and clear mucus.
  • Sore Throat and Hoarseness: Coats and protects the throat, promoting healing.

Duration of Use

  • You should feel noticeable improvement within a day or two.
