Black radish cough syrup is a proven, natural home remedy that is particularly effective for colds, dry coughs and bronchitis. The mustard oils contained in radish have antibacterial, antiviral and expectorant properties. When combined with honey, they form a syrup that promotes expectoration and soothes coughs. This home remedy is suitable for children aged two years and older and adults. Due to the use of honey, it should not be given to babies under one year of age.
Depending on the size of the black radishes, you can fill them with honey several times. To do this, pour out the sweet residue from the root, hollow out the radish a little deeper and then fill the honey mixture back into the black radish, adding more honey if necessary. You can repeat this procedure until the radish is hollowed out or begins to shrivel.
To ensure that the cough syrup is fully effective, it is advisable not to eat or drink anything for a couple of hours after taking it.

- 1 Black radish
- 4-8 tbsp Organic honey, depending on the size of the radish
|
- Cut off the top of the black radish. Using a melon baller, teaspoon or knife, scoop out the centre of the radish, leaving a rim about one to two centimetres wide around the sides.
- Chop the radish flesh into small pieces and set aside.
- Use a wood skewer or knitting needle to pierce a few holes in the bottom of the radish. The syrup will later drip through these holes into the glass placed underneath.
- Fill the radish bowl with radish pulp. Spoon honey over and place the cut-off lid back on top. Alternatively, mix the radish pulp with honey and fill the radish bowl with the mixture and put the lid back on.
- Set the whole thing on a glass. The honey will now draw liquid from the radish and the cough syrup can drip into the glass through the holes in the bottom.
- It will keep for a few weeks in a sterilised bottle in the refrigerator. For adults, take 1 tablespoon 3–4 times daily and for children over two years old, half a teaspoon 2–3 times daily after meals.

Grazie, molto utile il tuo sciroppo!!!
...honey always helps.
Que buen remedio natural para la tos. La miel va muy bien para los problemas de garganta al ser antibacteriana. No la he probado con el rábano, pero me lo apunto para comprobar su eficacia.
