BLOGLAND: Parents made me drink this to cure my cough

[Biostorm]

Hi Blogland. So I've had a cough for over 3 weeks, and I randomly get into coughing fits, and I guess my parents are worried or something so my mom looked on the internet for natural remedies after random over the counter medicines didn't work.

Basically she looked up things that could help with allergies/coughs (I guess I'm coughing due to my allergies) and got the following ingredients:

Apple
Orange
Garlic

What did she do? She mixed that all in a drink. And made me drink an entire cup of it. It was horrible. The drink was a thick, green substance. It didn't smell like anything, but it tasted like loving garlic. It felt like I was drinking liquefied garlic. I had to cover my nose, and had to drink cranberry juice right after every sip. The stuff tasted horrible, but I'm not coughing as much. I keep tasting garlic now too.

 So I guess discuss times when your parents made you do something you really don't want, but said it was for your own good.

not as bad as having to drink oregano oil (even if its diluted )

i hear if you mix vinegar, marmite, and radish shreddings into a paste and frost them on a whole wheat muffin sprinkled with hot cheeto dust it really helps, you should tell your mom

That doesn't sound too bad. Could have been served better I bet. Also sunflower seeds are a natural antihistamine, but if you are having coughing problems I wouldn't think the dust would be very good for you.

needs more vinegar marmite and radish shreds

That will clean you right out.

It was bad. I like garlic and all, but not when it overpowers everything else completely.

Thanks, will tell her that. I'll tell my dad to write my obituary while I'm at it

But I don't think I'd drink it mixed with fruit though

Garlic is fine when it's in foods. But I swear the drink had enough garlic to make every vampire within a one mile radius cringe.

idk if apples and oranges have any kind of medicinal value on their own

garlic is a blood thinner, but I don't think that will really help with a cough.
