As the winter months are approaching,
there is no denying that it comes with the cough/cold/flu season. Even
after a cold or upper respiratory flu passes, we are often plagued with a
persistent cough that won’t let up for weeks on end. It is extremely
annoying and debilitating to be coughing for long periods of time, plus
it makes those around you cringe with “germ-phobia”.
Over the counter cough drops help for very short periods of time, if at all, and I find daytime cough suppressants make my heart beat rapidly, and generally make me feel out of sorts. We constantly read about natural ingredients that build up our immune system, that are also quite good at battling the “residual dreaded cough.”
The video you are about to watch is a great tutorial that shows you an easy and fun way to make your own natural “cough sweets” that are far more effective than store-bought ones, and much tastier!
In a small sauce pan you will combine: FRESH LEMON JUICE – which is high in Vitamin C; NATURAL HONEY – which is antibacterial and is a natural cough suppressant; WATER; some SUGAR for taste; 1/2 tsp GROUND GINGER – which maintains the immune system, has anti-inflammatory properties and helps with pain and nausea; 1/4 tsp GROUND CLOVES – which reduces phlegm, has antiseptic properties and is full of antioxidants!
The mixture is brought to a boil and then simmers until the consistency becomes syrupy. When it cools, watch the video below, to see how he forms the cough drops and completes these incredible DIY to maintain your health this season.
They can be placed in a small tin with some baking paper to store for yourself; I’m going to add them as a thoughtful “little bit extra” to add to holiday gifts, for those I love. There is nothing like a bit of extra effort and thought to make a gift more meaningful. Let us know if you enjoyed watching this and will try making them yourself.
