Home remedies – Fighting coughs with apple cider vinegar and honey

18.07.2009 1 minute read From Editorial team

If you only have a mild cough, or the cough is just subsiding, you can very well alleviate this urge to cough with a juice made from apple cider vinegar and honey.

Make your own honey and apple cider vinegar syrup for coughs

To do this, mix 1/2 cup of honey with 3-4 tsp of apple cider vinegar. Either take approx. 6 tsp throughout the day (always stir well beforehand!) or only when you have a coughing fit. This drink has an antispasmodic, soothing, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory effect.
