I think I might try this today! 🤔🍐
Soothe your cough naturally 🍐Steamed Pear with Honey, a gentle TCM remedy to moisturize the lungs and calm a scratchy throat.
Got a dry, tickly cough or sore throat? This simple, warming treat from Traditional Chinese Medicine is cozy, quick, and comforting. Steam or bake one ripe pear until tender, drizzle with a teaspoon of honey, and enjoy while warm. Repeat 1–2 times daily until you feel better.
Why it helps:
Pears are cooling and moistening in TCM, great for dryness.
Warm honey soothes irritated throat tissue and adds pleasant sweetness.
How to make it:
Choose a ripe, juicy pear and wash it.
Core the pear (leave the base intact) and place on a small heatproof dish.
Steam for 15–20 minutes or bake at 180°C/350°F for 15–20 minutes until soft.
Remove, drizzle ~1 tsp honey over the warm pear, and eat the flesh and juice.
Repeat 1–2x daily as needed.
Save for later, try tonight, and tag a friend who needs a cozy remedy 🍯🍐
