The Most Effective Chronic Cough Remedies

Homemade Cough Drops

Cough drops are a great way to relieve coughing, but many store-bought cough drops are full of sugar and chemicals that can not only further irritate the throat, but are also not as effective or as healthy as they claim to be (in part due to the sugar content). Individuals can make their own cough drops by whipping half a cup of coconut oil in a blender, adding half a cup of raw honey, a teaspoon of ground organic cinnamon, and one to two drops of thyme or peppermint essential oil. They should then pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for about twenty minutes until they are hard. The cough drops should be stored in the refrigerator.
