5 Home Remedies for Pleurisy

1. Iodine Tincture Remedy for Pleurisy

Iodine tincture is a wonderful remedy not just for pleurisy, but also for pleural effusion and empyema as well. Rub iodine tincture on your back where it hurts, using a cotton pad. Do this procedure every night before bedtime. It’s better to ask someone to help massage your back as you need to relax while at it, and if you fall asleep, that’s even better. Continue the cure until you feel no more water dangles inside the lungs.

2. Onion & Honey Home Remedies for Pleurisy

Peel and grate 300 g of onion and combine it with 200 g of raw honey diluted on a bain-marie, in a pot with 600 ml of freshly squeezed red grape juice, or spring water. Mix everything up. Keep the preparation in a cool place for a couple of hours, and then it is ready for use. Have 1 shot of this natural medicine three times a day before meals.

4. Pleurisy Remedy with Yarrow

Drink 4 cups of yarrow tea throughout the day, in small sips. In the morning, on an empty stomach, and in the evening, 30 minutes before bedtime. You can dissolve 1/2 tsp of Swedish bitter in the tea as well for faster results. In case of cold and rheumatic pains, drinking large quantities of yarrow tea can be very helpful.

Pork Lard not a cure for anything ! Pork is the dirtiest most polluted animal in the world, perhaps besides Shrimp or Cockroaches !

Grape juice is MUCH healthier than Red Wine ! Don’t tempt the demon of Alcoholism !

Hi, Cee! Thank you for your valuable comment. The remedies here come from an old collection of remedies from the Central and Eastern area of Europe. Some of them use ingredients that today we do not recommend using for healing such as alcohol or lard (only topically in some cases). Your point is absolutely valid, so we have made the necessary adjustments. Thank you so much for pointing this out to us. Mush healing!
