Thank you ALL for your help - I think I am gonna go try some of them right now - cannot go to sleep with this darn cough.
Misschatea - Funny my dad used to give us the same thing, except it was Cognac/Brandy, as I recall! Anyway, really great stuff (and oooh it went down smooth too, lol); though I'm sure he would add a few special drops of love here and there too (no doubt you dad did the same), cause I never could quite reproduce his magic potion. Nice memories! :-)

Ginger powder, a little bit of honey and form a paste and that will soothe the cough... another thing you can do is gargle with salt water (water must be really warm)...and another thing you can do is get a cup of hot water, put 2 spoons of honey and squeeze some lemon in it, mix it up and drink that...it will soothe your cough...oh and there are cough teas you can buy at your local grocery store that make a honey lemon tea...you can also try the links below which have some home made recipes and remedies

Well, Lobelia and Valerian make a very strong cough suppressant together - just don't do it if you're a smoker! (Lobelia interacts with nicotine and makes you nauseous - it's a great smoking deterrent!) Coltsfoot and Mullein are what I usually start off with - you can find both at any health food store. I am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions

Hot tea as hot and as sweet(with sugar)as yu can stand it.Mix in a little honey if you dont like sugar. Hard candies work too-i usually use altoids.
