It sounds like you're referring to a natural remedy that is advertised as being more powerful than garlic and lemon in terms of killing bacteria and fungi, and possibly helping to clear up coughs. While some natural ingredients are indeed potent in supporting immune function and addressing various ailments, it's important to approach such claims with caution.
Garlic and lemon are well-known for their health benefits. Garlic has antimicrobial properties that can help fight infections, and lemon is packed with vitamin C, which boosts the immune system. However, when claims are made about something being "150 times stronger" than these or other natural ingredients, it often means that the substance in question has very concentrated properties or comes from a highly potent plant or extract.
Some natural ingredients often touted as powerful include:
Ginger – Known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, ginger can help with digestion, soothe sore throats, and reduce cough symptoms.
Turmeric – Contains curcumin, a compound with strong anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.
Manuka Honey – This honey is derived from the nectar of the Manuka tree in New Zealand and is known for its antibacterial and healing properties. It can be effective in soothing coughs and sore throats.
Oregano Oil – Rich in carvacrol, a compound that has strong antimicrobial properties, oregano oil is often touted as being effective against bacteria and fungi.
Echinacea – Often used to prevent colds, echinacea has immune-boosting properties and can reduce inflammation and fight infections.
Tea Tree Oil – Known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, it can be used topically for various skin infections or in steam inhalations for respiratory issues.
