Hi, I'm looking for a good old-fashioned cough syrup. I know that the ingredients are things like hot whiskey, lemon, honey, etc. but I don't know how to mix and if I'm forgetting some other beneficial things. Would welcome any tried and true homegrown recipes. Thanks!

Simple Cough Syrup
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup honey
1/4 cup warm water
Combine lemon juice and honey in a bowl. Slowly stir in the water. Store in a covered jar in the refrigerator - take 1-2 tbsp as needed for cough.
To soothe a sore throat, add 1 tbsp of mixture to a cup of comfrey root, chamomile or rosemary tea.
That is just the simple cough syrup...there are many more recipes on the site below...

Cut raw ginger into dice size pieces. Simmer 5 of them in a pot with 3 cups of water for 20 minutes.
Add a tablespoon of honey and a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice to your cup and pour the hot ginger tea on it.
You will feel a new person.

You need to see your doctor.. If you keep masking the symptoms you could just end up with a real mess. Listen I know we all get scared of what alot of coughing and throat clearing could mean.. But look at it this way, if ya got something bad and you find out now, they can probably cure it. If they find out you have only postnasal drip, well then they can cure that too... And you also have to think of those who love you , I know you don't think so but they have noticed, believe me.. Mine did when I had your symptoms.. So go to the Doctor, save yourself the worry. Luka

I have just used a coffee cup of lemon juice and a bit of sugar, put it in the microwave, heat as hot as you can tolerate and sip it. It has always worked for me.
