Herbal Honey Cough Syrup 4 oz

This soothing cough syrup uses honey, herbs, and citrus to calm coughing and sore throats and, for me, laryngitis. It should be stored in the refrigerator and can be kept for up to 2 months, longer if frozen in ice trays. 

Potential uses: strong cough expectorant and decongestant. Use it every couple of hours to relieve a cough or congestion or soothe a sore throat.

Precautions: While this is safe for children over 4 years old, please keep in mind that it contains ginger and cayenne pepper, which may be too "hot" for children. It is tempered with lemon and honey. Do not give any honey to children under 2 years old. 

** Anyone allergic to ragweed, marigolds, daisies, chrysanthemums, or chamomile should avoid this.

Ingredients: 

• Raw honey, which can help stop the coughing (as long as the children taking it are over a year old). 
• Lemon juice provides a necessary dose of vitamin C.
• Fresh ginger is naturally anti-inflammatory and has an expectorant action.
• Chamomile soothes muscles, making it useful in relieving the “tickle” in the throat, plus it promotes restful sleep. 
• Marshmallow root has one of the highest mucilaginous contents of all herbs and coats and soothes the throat. 
• Cinnamon helps boost the immune system and improve taste.
• Slippery Elm is reported to coat the throat, reduce inflammation, and help with congestion.
• Cayenne pepper is reported to reduce pain and inflammation.
• White pine needles, which have been used in this formula, are very high in Vitamin C (4-5x higher than fresh squeezed orange juice), Vitamin A, and antioxidants. They are also great for circulation and red blood cell production.

Not recommended if pregnant or lactating.
