Coughs can come from a number of problems or allergies. If you have a persistent cough that is preventing you from sleeping and getting your rest, drink two tablespoons of honey and then be sure to use two pillows to prop your head up higher. Honey will help you control that nasty cough while promoting a restful and peaceful night sleep so your body can heal faster.
Along with the cough and colds of the many seasons of the year, the heavy feeling in your chest that comes with coughs and colds is not much fun. If you haven’t been using honey to help you overcome the problems associated with coughs, colds, aches and pains, you are going to be in for a very pleasant surprise using honey in your treatment. For hundreds of years, honey has been used in any type of hot or warmed liquid to treat the heaviness that is associated with coughs, colds, bronchitis, upper respiratory problems and more. You can add honey to chicken broth, beef broth, tea, milk, juice, and even just water! The warmth eases your body while the honey works on easing the associated problems with your lungs.
If you have been suffering from a bad cough and cold, with a heavy bronchitis setting in, another home remedy that has been used for hundreds of years is to use a half cup of lemon juice, three tablespoons of honey and a teaspoon of glycerin. Stir all this together really well and drink it as you would a cough syrup. You can take a teaspoon now and then again in about three hours for continued relief all day long.
