Homemade Cough Medicine

Recipe #56268 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is a home remedy for that horrible cough that you just can't get rid of, and best of all: you probably already have all of the ingredients!

4 -8 doses (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix ingredients.
  2. 2
    Take by the teaspoon as often as needed for cough.
  3. 3
    Do not give to infants under 12 months due to the honey (though I doubt you could get them to take it anyway!).

This stuff not only works for cough but fever pain and all kinds of other stuff. I now drink it daily with 2 teaspoons of ACV and 16oz water, one to 3 times per day. Earthclinic has alot more information if you are interested in home remedies with ACV=apple cider vinegar. Thank you Daphne for another ACV recipe.

    Made this yesterday for DH, who has had a cough for a couple of weeks. He is still coughing a bit, but says he feels much better. Thanks Daphne.

    I was sceptical about trying this, but really hating to go to the doctor and being desperate for some medicine, I decided to give it a try. This cough medicine is amazing! Every time I coughed, I would take a tablespoon of the medicine, and within 3 days, the cough was gone. Later, I made some for my aunt who was sick. Same results...within a few days the cough was gone. Thanks for posting a great recipe and saving me mega bucks that I would have spent for medicine at the pharmacy!

    I've NOT been dealing with a bad cough for the past 2 fortnights. It's because of my STRONG DISLIKE to take medicines. I prefer natural cures, really. I've been drinking this of late, and my cough is much much better(almost going away). I am not just going to save this in my book, but recommend it to everyone I know. I've made a batch for a friend as well. Really easy, cheap, home-made, natural and most of all, it WORKS like a charm! Thank you very much for posting this very effective home treatment to fight nasty irritating cough.
