Our Lemon Honey Cough Remedy with Propolis helps to soothe a sore
throat and quiet a cough while being very helpful for the sinus and bronchial
system. Propolis acts like a natural antibiotic from the hive.
We all know drinking tea or warm lemon water mixed with
honey is a time-honored way to soothe a sore throat. In one study, by the
Mayo Clinic, children age 2 and older with upper respiratory tract infections
were given up to 2 teaspoons of honey at bedtime. The honey seemed to reduce
nighttime coughing and improve sleep.
In
fact, in the study, honey appeared to be as effective as a common cough
suppressant ingredient, dextromethorphan, in typical over-the-counter doses.
Since honey is low-cost and widely available, it might be worth a try. 1 lb. jar.
However, due
to the risk of infant botulism, a rare but serious form of food poisoning,
never give honey to a child younger than age 1.
