These days, pharmacies are full of medications aimed at treating colds and coughs. Unfortunately, many of them don’t deliver the desired results — and their side effects can often make things worse. But there’s a natural and highly effective method you can try instead.
This miracle remedy is made from beneficial herbs and ingredients you likely already have at home. It’s especially helpful to start taking it before cold weather hits, as your body needs support during flu season.
This method can relieve sore throat and help prevent flu and colds.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Ginger
- Honey
- Lemon juice
Ginger is an excellent immunity booster. It supports the immune system and has anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps soothe sore throats and reduce nausea.
Honey has strong antibacterial properties. It helps relieve throat pain and acts as a natural cough suppressant.
Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, essential for immune support.
How to Make This Remedy:
- In a saucepan, add 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water.
- Cut a lemon in half and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the pot.
- Add 1 tablespoon of honey and ½ teaspoon of ground ginger.
- Finally, add ¼ teaspoon of ground garlic (from 1 clove) – this helps reduce phlegm.
- Heat the mixture well. Once it starts to boil, stir it and lower the temperature.
- Let it simmer for 15–20 minutes.
- While waiting, prepare a tray lined with baking paper.
- After 15–20 minutes, the mixture should become thick and dark in color.
- Pour spoonfuls onto the baking paper and let them cool for about 20 minutes.
- Once set, dust them with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- Cut into small pieces – and now you have natural homemade cough drops!
They taste great and work fast.
Bonus Tip: You can also add a few of these drops to a cup of hot water and enjoy them as a soothing drink.
Say goodbye to store-bought cough syrup – this homemade remedy is natural, effective, and budget-friendly!
