An effective treatment for cough is to use ginger.

One study suggests that some anti-inflammatory components in ginger can relax the membranes of the airways, thereby reducing coughing. Prepare a ginger tea with 20-40 grams of fresh ginger slices in a cup of hot water. Let it cool down for a few minutes before drinking it. Add honey or lemon juice to improve the flavor and further soothe a cough. Be aware that in some cases, ginger tea can cause stomach upset or heartburn

Among the home remedies that grandmothers and relatives recommend, even strangers, this recipe is, according to them, effective for acne. The use and application consists of mixing baking soda in small amounts and lemon juice, applying it to the face, leaving it on until it dries and rinsing very well, being careful not to expose yourself to sunlight.

Now, even though lemon is antibacterial and baking soda is anti-inflammatory, this shouldn't go on your face. “Bicarbonate is alkaline (our skin is acidic with a pH of 5.5) which causes the normal skin barrier function to be altered and, therefore, leaves it exposed to physical and chemical aggressions from the environment ”, explains the certified dermatologist Gabriela Castrejón.

This also includes the application of lemon or any other type of citrus on the skin. "Citrus fruits are one of the main agents of phytophotodermatitis, also known as Berloque, a skin reaction that occurs when the sun's radiation comes into contact with a photosensitizing substance," says the doctor.

What does baking soda do on the skin?

Only 24 hours after its application, and after exposure to the sun, painful lesions will appear on the skin, in the form of spots or blisters. Then you'll have another new problem (besides the sebum, of course): the lesions will leave brown spots that can last for months. And yes, we are sorry to break it to you, you will need another dermatological treatment to be able to eliminate them completely.

What alternatives to cure acne are there?

There are some sebum-regulating products that are ideal for cleaning and treating acne breakouts in oily skin. "Dermo-cleansers with a pH similar to that of our skin and that also contain salicylic acid" are recommended.

The best and definitive alternative is to go to a dermatologist who will study your case and recommend products that suit your skin type.
