Lemon and honey for a cough

A coughing fit and the annoying tickle in the throat can be dealt with using a natural syrup you can make at home.

Put a lemon with its peel in a small pot with a little water and let it boil for about 5 minutes. Then take it out, cut it in half and squeeze it. While it is still warm, dissolve 3 tablespoons of honey in its juice, stir well and drink it in two doses during the day. Honey acts as an emollient on the throat and thus soothes the cough. Lemon juice has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. The combination of the two creates a natural, mild antimicrobial solution that will relieve your throat.
