Cough Remedy



A GOOD NATURAL HOMEMADE
COUGH REMEDY.


So being a person who likes to take the natural way to heal first, I don't rule out the good old, tylenol when needed. But after having a scratchy throat, and Carys too, I wanted to try something healthy and Natural, rather than OTC MEDs... 

I always have Apple Cider Vinegar at home, and Raw Organic Honey, so I set about to find a good recipe and behold I found one... Click here for recipe.

All the ingredients I had in my pantry & fridge.. And I set about to make this remedy.

  Get out your Ingredients. I used an old mango chutney jar.. Just the right size. Now I tripled the amount in the original recipe, as I am suffering right now with a sore throat.. So I will most definitely use this up. You can see the honey settle on the bottom SO...


 GIVE IT A GOOD SHAKING !!

AND LOOK AT THAT WONDERFUL...NATURAL COLOR.


Here goes my first spoonful...... And

AND it's so good !! Spicy, but good, It has one heck of a kick once you swallow, but I doesn't bother me..

All in all I think this will do the job.. Will give an update on how my throat is doing in a couple of days.. Now I mentioned that Carys is suffering with a hoarse throat too.. But with the spice, I think she will not take it..I will just keep giving her the Raw honey instead ( She is 18mths old.. Just for those who are worrying about giving a baby honey. It is not recommended for any baby under 1yrs old to have any forms of honey)

  2. Here's the recipe from the link you gave:

    MAGGIE’S COUGH REMEDY
    ¼ teaspoon Cayenne
    ¼ teaspoon Ginger
    1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar (an organic one, like Bragg’s, is preferred.)
    2 Tablespoon Water
    1 Tablespoon Honey (use a locally produced raw honey, if possible.)

    There's a very similar sore throat recipe:

    "Martin’s holistic strep throat treatment consisted of the following ingredients which he consumed at a rate of ½ teaspoon every 30 minutes to an hour.
    -Mash 3x cloves of fresh garlic with mortar & pestle
    -Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
    -Mix in 1 tablespoon manuka honey (or add based on taste)
