In the news lately much has been said about the ineffectiveness and harm that can be caused by over the counter children's cold medications. I'd like to share with you a simple homemade remedy that can help alleviate symptoms of the common cold and such ailments.
Make your own Cough Syrup by chopping up an onion in small pieces to extract the juice from it. Mix 1 teaspoon of onion juice with 1 teaspoon of honey, let it sit for 5hours. Mix with some lemon if you like and take twice a day. Onions help break up phlegm.
If the cough is croup like at nightime, cover chest with olive oil or vaseline and place chopped up onions wrapped in cloth over chest and keep warm with hot water bottle or covers. This will aid further in alleviating the coughing. The oil is used to protect the skin from the onions burning it.
