Let’s dive into how to make your own cough-calming magic.
🌿 Why Try This Natural Syrup?
Coughs can linger long after a cold is gone. But instead of reaching for store-bought syrups full of additives, this simple homemade version uses raw honey, lemon juice, and coconut oil to naturally calm your throat, break up mucus, and support your immune system.
It’s safe, fast-acting, and tastes better than anything from a pharmacy shelf.
🧪 What You’ll Need:
½ cup raw honey – preferably local, for added allergy relief
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice – loaded with vitamin C
1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil – rich in soothing, antimicrobial fats
🔥 How to Make It:
Warm the Honey Gently
In a small saucepan, warm the honey on low heat—don’t boil it. Just enough to make it easy to stir.
Add Lemon Juice + Coconut Oil
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and coconut oil. Mix until fully blended. You’ll get a golden, silky syrup packed with healing benefits.
Store It Right
Pour into a clean glass jar with a lid. Keep it in the fridge—it’ll stay fresh and effective for up to a month.
💡 How to Use:
Adults: Take 1 tablespoon up to 3 times daily
Kids (over 1 year): Take 1 teaspoon as needed
⚠️ Never give honey to children under 12 months old.
