Home remedy: Dark Chocolates Treat Coughs

I hate coughs, especially chesty cough that may lead to chronic cough that could last me 1-2 months instead of weeks.

It is hard to concentrate on communicating with clients, friends and family members, especially when you are on the phone when having a chesty rough after a short interval of speaking.

I would usually buy cough syrup with expectorant which always made me drowsy, could not concentrate on anything for the whole day.

I really hated chesty cough !

New Home Remedy For Cough

Today, I read from the local newspaper that dark chocolate could be one of those home remedies to cure persistent cough  that goes on and on for months.

It seems that dark chocolate has Theobromine, a substance that aided in reducing the cough chronic, chesty symptoms and I decided to try it out since I LOVE dark chocolates very much.

My experiment with dark chocolate

It was a surprising result that after consuming a bar of dark chocolate ( 40g ) once a day instead of recommended 2 bars a day ( I cannot afford expensive chocolates ), I had noticed that my chesty cough had reduced bit by bit while I continue drink garlic water mixture ( fight against bacteria ).

Best of all, dark chocolates do not have any side effects such as making me drowsy and sleepy the whole day which would have definitely affected my daily household chores routine.

How did chocolates treat coughs

Dark chocolate contents are sticker and more viscose compare to the regular cough expectorant or syrup.

Therefore, it naturally forms a thick coating onto the nerves in the throat which was the usual reason that trigger the irritating sensation to cough up in order to clear the throat.

This is a similar concept with sticky thick honey, cinnamon and honey mixture that forms a thick concoction syrup, a natural home remedy for coughs.

Instead of chewing the dark chocolate bar, try sucking a piece of it that provide a slow relief to the throat irritation.

The dark chocolate contents slowly linger to the nerve ending of the throat helps to reduce the sensitive feeling that induce phlegm and thick mucus.

Furthermore, dark chocolate has cough calming ingredients that helps to reduce the urge of coughing such as diphenhydramine, levomenthol and ammonium chloride.

Remember that dark chocolate is different from milk chocolates.

Dark chocolate is 80% high content in cocoa itself while milk chocolate is 40% cocoa, 40% milk.

That is the reason why dark chocolate is expensive compare to milk chocolate bars.

Dark chocolate works!

Although dark chocolates are not the immediate cure ingredient for cough, it DOES reduce the irritating coughing with garlic water.

Anyway, I felt better now, even without the cough syrup medication, no doctor and save money on doctor consultation fees.

Do try dark chocolates the next time you have chesty or common cough. Remember to drink garlic water 3x a day. It helps to kill the bacteria in your throat.
