💡 Why It Works:

💡 Why It Works:

• Ginger: A natural expectorant, helps loosen mucus and reduce inflammation.

• Honey: Soothes irritation, coats the throat, and offers antimicrobial protection.

✅ Bonus Tips:

• Drink on an empty stomach for maximum absorption.

• Pair with steam inhalation or a humidifier at night.

• Avoid dairy if you’re phlegm-prone — it can thicken mucus.

• Stay well-hydrated — water helps thin mucus, making it easier to clear.

• Diabetics: Watch sugar intake from honey.

• Persistent symptoms? See a doctor — could signal something more serious.
