Homemade Cough Syrup: A Simple 3-Ingredient Recipe for Stubborn Coughs

by

 

Instructions:

 

  1. Warm the Honey: Gently heat the honey in a small saucepan over low heat—do not let it boil. The goal is to make the honey liquid enough to mix easily while preserving its natural healing properties.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Remove from heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and coconut oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. The lemon juice helps break down mucus, while coconut oil provides a soothing coating for the throat.
  3. Store: Pour the mixture into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month. Cold storage helps preserve its potency and effectiveness.

Usage:

  • Take one tablespoon of the syrup up to three times a day for relief.
  • For children, use one teaspoon as needed.
  • Important: Do not give honey to children under one year old due to the risk of botulism. Always check with a healthcare provider before giving homemade remedies to young children.

Benefits of This Homemade Cough Syrup:

✅ Natural Expectorant: Helps loosen and expel mucus from the respiratory tract.
✅ Soothes a Sore Throat: Honey acts as a natural cough suppressant, providing instant relief.
