Cough accompanies almost all viral diseases and colds. It can be either dry or wet, but always requires treatment. If therapy is not started in a timely manner, the cough gradually becomes chronic and is a constant nuisance. If it is strong and paroxysmal, then the patient cannot sleep fully, as a result of which his general condition quickly deteriorates. He loses normal performance, becomes irritable and overly emotional. An excellent remedy for relieving a cough is a compress, which allows you to warm up the lungs and bronchi and relieve swelling and inflammation of the mucous membrane. It is very good to use black radish for this purpose. It warms up no worse than mustard plasters, but at the same time has a gentler effect on the skin. This compress can be used for both adults and children. However, it is very important to remember that the procedure should be carried out strictly observing the time of application of the compress and not prolonging it. In addition, do not confuse compresses for adults and children, as they have significant differences.
What are the benefits of a compress for coughing?
The effectiveness of treating cough with black radish compresses is achieved thanks to the various therapeutic effects of this therapy. Using a compress allows you to get:
- increased blood circulation in the bronchi and lungs;
- elimination of spasm of the bronchi and lungs;
- elimination of muscle spasms of the chest;
- penetration of medicinal components from radish juice through the skin directly into the area of inflammation.
Due to such an active effect on the body, a compress with radish quickly removes phlegm and relieves coughing attacks. After only 3 days of treatment, it is possible to significantly improve the patient’s condition, and after a week, even very severe bronchitis can be overcome.

Benefits of black radish for bronchitis
This root vegetable improves digestion, relieves swelling, and removes toxins. Products based on it are used in the treatment of many pathologies, but they are most effective in diseases of the respiratory tract.
Black radish is especially often used for bronchitis because it quickly thins mucus, relieving dry coughs.
By combining this vegetable with various other components, you can effectively treat colds, whooping cough, and chronic bronchitis. Such remedies facilitate expectoration, help get rid of dry cough, and relieve spasms.

Rules for collecting and storing vegetables
The later the harvest is harvested, the better it will ripen and be saturated with beneficial nutrients. Moreover, agronomists have proven that late harvest guarantees maximum shelf life. Harvest black radishes in late fall (it's important to do it before the first snow falls and temperatures begin to drop rapidly). Sort vegetables immediately after harvesting, without leaving the garden bed. Too small or, on the contrary, gigantic, rotten, infected, frozen fruits will have to be thrown away. Any dent or scratch on the radish reduces the shelf life of the vegetable, impairs the taste and nutritional composition.
If you plan to consume black radish 5-7 days in advance, then place them in any convenient container/craft/bag and put them in the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator compartment should not exceed 0°C. For long-term storage, you will have to carry out a number of simple manipulations. Distribute the vegetables into suitable containers/bags/boxes and lightly sprinkle with soil. The shelf life of radish is 14 days.
Most often, the method is used when transporting whole crops to retail outlets.
The shelf life can be increased by changing conditions and microclimate. In dry rooms with a humidity of about 85% (basements), radishes can be stored for up to 9 months. The shelf life of black radish is much longer than that of other varieties, which adds an additional 30-60 days.

Find or install a nook where the temperature will be 0°C and enjoy your favorite black radishes for several seasons.
Commodity neighborhood
The aroma, taste, composition and shelf life of radish depend on the correct product proximity. “Place” black radish together with other vegetables that do not have a pronounced aroma. This way we will protect the radish from foreign odors and will not violate the shelf life. The vegetable gets along best with carrots and seasonal potatoes. Store vegetables in a separate compartment or dedicate them to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

The child's sputum is cleared well and he recovers quickly.
Alina, 30 years old My seven-year-old daughter cannot be forced to drink radish juice with honey, but she tolerates compresses well and has no rash. The warming procedure quickly puts the child on his feet. When treating bronchitis, compresses were used as an additional remedy. We had to take medicine, we became seriously ill, but warming rare compresses at night speeded up recovery.
Inga, 34 years old Red juice with honey is a natural remedy, but it doesn’t always help. I tried to treat my son with a folk remedy. After a week of taking it, the cough only got worse. We had to see a doctor, we got it from him then. We neglected the disease and did not treat it. This drug helps well in the initial stages or as an addition to medications.
Svetlana, 35 years old I know from experience that radish juice for coughs for children is a good remedy. With the arrival of cold weather, I don’t expect the children to start getting sick. I make juice from this vegetable and let it drink for a week. Last year my daughters only got sick once. Syrup with honey is an excellent way to strengthen the immune system. Natural, safe, affordable. It is better to prevent the disease.
Preparing a tincture of honey and vodka
To prepare the tincture, it is better to use linden, flower or buckwheat honey. Both fresh and hard, candied will do. To preserve its beneficial properties, honey can be left unmelted (or melted, but at a low temperature). The color of the resulting drink is determined by the type of honey used.
As an alcohol base, you can take good quality vodka, inexpensive cognac or diluted ethyl alcohol (up to 40-45 degrees). It is acceptable to use moonshine (well purified and odorless), but the impurities and fusel oils it contains relegate it to the background when preparing medicinal infusions.
Why is honey added?
Adding honey helps prepare the medicine by quickly extracting the juice from the root vegetable. It is quite difficult to obtain it yourself, even with mechanical grinding.
In addition, honey itself is a storehouse of useful substances and microcomponents, including saturated fructose and glucose, as well as useful protein compounds.
