Making Cough Syrup At Home With Honey

February 17, 2009

Most commercial cough syrups can cause drowsiness and are full of chemicals you may wish to avoid. There is an effective ingredient readily available in your home that is free from artificial chemicals, and works just as well as most commercial products. Honey is used in a number of cough syrups that are commercially made, but there’s no reason you can’t make your own honey cough syrup at home. Here are a few simple recipes.
