Cough Remedy: Pear Soup

This recipe is for 6+ months

If your baby is suffering from a cough try this traditional Chinese remedy! Pears are naturally hydrating and rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, which can help boost the immune system. In many cultures, especially in East Asia, pear soup is made by simmering sliced pears with ingredients like rock sugar, honey, or herbs such as ginger, goji berries, or licorice root. These additions enhance its soothing properties, providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. The warmth of the soup helps to loosen mucus, calm dry coughs, and alleviate discomfort in the respiratory system. Enjoyed both as a remedy and a comfort food, pear soup is a gentle, natural way to promote respiratory health. It is said that the pear water helps strengthen lungs and speeds the recovery period of coughs & colds, it also moistens any dryness for example dry throat or cough. When you combine it with the cinnamon and ginger (also soothes cough and improves recovery time) you have a powerful, immune boosting, delicious, soothing cough remedy and plus it’s great for digestion!

Suggestion:

You can boil or steam your pears , but make sure you use the water from the steamed or boiled pears, that is where the medicinal properties are. I would also suggest you try to serve a little bit to baby twice a day.
