Lagundi
Lagundi is typically consumed as a medical syrup or tablet but can also be brewed into tea at home. It has been proven that lagundi has a property that thins out the viscosity of the mucus within the sinuses and nasal passageways. The plant also has natural anti-inflammatory properties that allow the opening of the nostrils, making it easier for mucus to pass through. If brewed as tea, it can reduce inflammation due to heat and introduce liquid within the system. It can be paired with honey for a much better drinking experience and more potent effects.
Lagundi only has mild side effects when consumed in large doses, such as itchiness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Typically, it is recommended to consume lagundi leaf once or twice a day for the best results. It is also popularly used in over-the-counter medicine for cough remedies. The treatment is sometimes mixed with other substances to enhance its effects further.
