A tip for dry cough

A betel leaf is cleaned well and the main vein should be torn off.

3 pinches of ajwain ( carom seeds, thymol seeds, vaamu, oma ) is placed on the leaf and the leaf is rolled well.

Chewing on this roll ever so slowly and sucking on the juice will ease the dry cough. This is generally done before bedtime.
