With cold weather comes cold season. I found a great blog that explains how to make 3-ingredient (all natural- yay!) cough drops in the simplest way possible.
Check it out: https://www.tastyeverafter.com/honey-lemon-ginger-cough-drops/.
The best part about these honey drops is you can eat as many as you'd like because they're all natural. Also, they don't taste like typical artificial cough drops, yuck!
Before you give it a try, let me explain why these 3 ingredients are perfect for soothing your sore throat and calming your cold.
Ginger: Ginger is known for its natural anti-inflammatory properties and works as a natural painkiller. Ginger can calm the stomach and help an upset stomach due to post-nasal drip.
Honey: A protein in honey has been found to kill bacteria and ward off sickness. Multiple studies have also found honey to be an effective cough suppressant. Usage of honey in medicine dates back to over 5,000 years ago.
Lemon: Historically lemon has been used to treat Scurvy, an illness caused due to lack of vitamin C. Lemon is used to treat pain and swelling while adding flavor and a boost of vitamin C to the cough drops.
For my readers who aren't into DIY, consider checking out Zarbee's. A brand consisting of high quality honey and natural flavors.
