Wonderful natural cough remedy for persistent coughs, dry coughs or coughs that hang-on after a cold. Tastes terrible but works great!
The next time you have a cough that just won't stop -- give this homemade cough recipe a try!
For the adventurous and independent sort, here's a homemade cough syrup recipe that really works. The ingredients are a combination of spices and nutrients with no unpleasant medicinal side effects -- no drowsiness, no dry mucous membranes, no cautions about using machinery or driving.
The recipe is from Herbally Yours by Penny C. Royal, 3rd Edition, June 1982. It seems to work for all kinds of coughs but especially for that dry hacky cough that keeps you awake and hangs on long after the cold is over.
It soothes an irritated throat and relieves chest congestion and phlegm. It does tastes terrible -- but if you have a persistant cough, it's certainly worth a try.
Natural Cough Syrup Remedy
The recipe doesn't indicate dosage; however, 2-3 teaspoons seems like a good start. It should help one to get a good night's sleep but it will not make one drowsy.
Consider the beneficial effects of the individual ingredients:
Keep the mixture in the fridge.
CAUTION: Any cough persisting more than a week, accompanied by headache or fever, and any cough which is productive of thick yellow or green mucous should be evaluated by a physician. Do not give honey to children under 1 year of age unless it is pasteurized or boiled for five minutes. I would not give this mixture to a young child anyway, because the taste is too strong, and a child with a cough should be seen by a pediatrician.
