Flu, cough and cold season - cough syrup

My 8 yr old came home and told me strep throat was running wild at school. So I decided it was time to start some serious treatment, that has always worked for us previously.

First I gave her some garlic pills, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C.  Then before bed we doused her feet in Oil of Oregano. I love love love Oil of Oregano. Sure it makes you dream about pizza all night but we have never had it not work. You have to catch the illness before its full force, for it to really work.

So, I had made up a batch of cough syrup months ago and now it was time to start dosing it.  Sure she didnt have a cough yet, but this syrup has a lot of good stuff in it anyhow.  This recipe is 3 ingrediants that most everyone has in their house.  I make a ball jar full of it and keep it refridgerated.

The ingredients are Lemon, Honey and coconut oil.  You can add to it but this is the basic recipe.
For instance adding cinnamon will aid in helping congestion.

Lemons are high in Vitamin C.  When we are sick, we also drink a lot of Lemon water for the vitamin C.

Raw Honey is best but any good honey will do. Honey is amazing on its own or mixed in.  You know when your mom used to give you a spoonful of honey to soothe a sore throat. She was right in doing so.  However, it isnt only soothing. Honey is also a great antioxident and its anti-bacterial and anti-viral. Forget those prescriptions your doctor gives you. Who needs them when we have all we need in our cupboards.

The last ingredient is Coconut oil.  Oh the many many benefits of coconut oil. Coconut oil is also, anti-bacterial and anti-viral, amongst other great benefits.

So theres the ingredients for this amazing cold and flu concoction. Now to make it, all you have to do is warm it all up together. melting the coconut oil with the honey and adding lemon juice.

1/3 cup honey
2 tbls Coconut oil
4 tbsl of lemon juice
