Homemade Natural Cough Syrup

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion (anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial)
• 1 large lemon (rich in Vitamin C, boosts immune system)
• 2-3 cloves of garlic (natural antibiotic and lung cleanser)
• 2 tablespoons of raw honey (soothes throat, antibacterial)
• 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric (anti-inflammatory)
• 1 teaspoon of ground ginger (expectorant and lung cleanser)
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (antimicrobial and antioxidant)
• 1 cup of water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the onion and garlic:
   • Peel and finely chop the onion.
   • Peel and crush the garlic cloves.
2. Simmer the mixture:
   • In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a gentle boil.
   • Add the chopped onion, garlic, ground turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon.
   • Let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the lemon:
   • Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
   • Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the mixture and stir well.
4. Add honey:
   • Once the mixture has cooled to a lukewarm temperature (so it doesn’t destroy the honey’s benefits), stir in the raw honey.
5. Strain and store:
   • Strain the mixture into a glass jar, discarding the solid bits.
   • Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Usage:

• Take 1 tablespoon of the syrup 2-3 times a day to help cleanse your lungs and reduce coughing.
• For children over 1 year old, reduce the dose to 1 teaspoon. Avoid giving honey to children under 1 year old.

Optional:

• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra boost to clear congestion.

This syrup is a natural remedy and should support your body’s healing process. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
