“Breathe Easy” – Ancient Remedy for Persistent Dry Cough
The cold and flu season this winter in Truckee/Tahoe has been a rough one for many. Symptoms of sinus congestion and dry cough that lingers on for weeks seems to be making its’ rounds around the community. I wanted to share a traditional recipe that I was taught by a Chinese Herbalist. This simple three ingredient steamed pear remedy is often prepared to prevent or treat a persistent dry lingering cough after a cold or flu. In Chinese Medicine terms, it helps to strongly moisten and tonify the Lung Yin while dissolving phlegm.
