Do you hate the preservatives, alcohol and dyes that come with the high cost of cough syrup? I sure do. My daughter's good friend makes her own cough syrup and she let me take a spoonful. Sure, it taste like a medication but it worked instantly in freeing my throat and lungs from that congested feeling. It is so simple to make that I want to share it with you.
The ingredients are: Honey, onion and dry herbs of licorice root, horehound or cherry bark. (I used only the cherry bark and you can pick the herbs up at a Health food store and they really don't cost too much.)
Dice a onion and cover with raw honey in a double boiler. Once the honey is liquefied, add 1/2 -1oz. of any combination of the herbs. Cover and simmer 4-5 hours. Strain. Store in fridge.
I used an old medicine bottle and labeled it with the name and date.
Use 1-2 tsp every four hours when needed. You can use more this won't hurt you and you will get relief.
