Research-Backed Remedies That Ease Pain If You Don’t Have Medication

Eat Chocolate To Suppress Coughs

In 2016, research in The BMJ reported that cocoa could relieve a cough better than cough syrup. Dr. Sarah Jarvis explains that the sticky coating, along with a substance called theobromine, reduces an itchy throat. But there’s more to this study than meets for the eye.

For one thing, the researchers analyzed cocoa-based medication, not chocolate bars. For another, downing a lot of chocolate won’t help. Your best bet is to get dark chocolate with a high cocoa count. Instead of eating it, let it dissolve on your tongue. The longer chocolate coats your throat, the better you may feel.
