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)
Spicy. I like it.

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)
