- 400 ml of boiling water

This natural banana cream provides quick, effective cough relief—backed by generations of traditional use. Economical, 100% natural, and free from synthetic additives.
Ideal for dry or productive coughs, sharp or barking coughs, allergic reactions, or those with mucus—with or without. It excels at taming nighttime coughs and, thanks to the honey, soothes sore throats too.
Children love its mild, sweet flavor, and it's packed with nutrients. Safe and healthy for kids over 2 years old—but avoid honey for infants under 2 due to botulism risk.
Bananas are nutrient powerhouses, rich in iron to bolster immunity, plus vitamins and magnesium to combat cough-related fatigue.
Honey, a centuries-old remedy, offers antibiotic, antiseptic, and antioxidant benefits. Its thick consistency coats and calms irritated throats, while natural sugars boost saliva to reduce respiratory inflammation.
