Coughs

•  

  • Drink hot water when cough is tight and no phlegm is being produced.

  • For night coughing, try a dash of Salt followed by a teaspoon of warm Honey.

  • Hot pasteurized Honey will help break-up cough and cold symptoms and is said to help with spasms associated with asthma. Remember: do not give honey to a child under the age of two.

  • My favorite is warmed Honey with a touch of Lemon.

  • Try spicy V-8 juice. Anything spicy is said to help break up colds and flu.
