Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Grapes have a long history of use in traditional medicine for the treatment of coughs and other respiratory ailments. In Ayurvedic and other traditional systems, grape juice and whole grapes are often recommended for their soothing, demulcent, and expectorant properties. The high water content, natural sugars, and antioxidants such as polyphenols in grapes are believed to help thin mucus, ease throat irritation, and provide comfort during coughing. While grapes are not a primary treatment for cough in modern allopathic medicine, their inclusion in home remedies is widespread in several cultures.

Scientific validation for the direct use of grapes in treating cough is limited, and most studies focus on grape-derived compounds such as resveratrol for general anti-inflammatory or antioxidant effects rather than direct antitussive (cough-suppressing) action. However, the soothing effect of grape juice on the throat, along with some mild anti-inflammatory benefits, may provide symptomatic relief. Thus, while there is a strong traditional basis for using grapes to help with cough, scientific support is modest and largely indirect. Grapes are generally safe for most people, making them a popular adjunctive remedy rather than a primary treatment for cough.
