Ingredients

  • Garlic 30g
  • 15g frosting sugar
  • 120ml water

Principle

Garlic disperses cold in warmth, expels lungs and dissipates phlegm; icing sugar is sweet and neutral. Steamed in water, easy to soften the irritation of garlic.

Effects & uses

Suitable for cough caused by wind-cold cold (fear of cold, phlegm white and thin); wind-heat cough (sore throat, yellow phlegm) is not appropriate.

Method

  1. Combine garlic with icing sugar and water in a stew.
  2. Steam in water until the garlic is soft and saccharified.

How to use

  • Wear it before going to bed, warmly.

Caution

Suitable only for wind-cold cough; wind-heat, yin deficiency and dry cough are not appropriate. No substitute for medication; cough drama, fever, phlegm and blood should be sought for medical treatment.
