Apple cider vinegar + honey = natural cough remedy

I found this home remedy for cough and it worked so well that I wanted to share it with everyone.
The first night I tried it, my son threw up a bunch of phlegm after 5 minutes which helped him get cleared up. About an hour and a half later, I gave him another teaspon before going to bed and within 5 minutes he was asleep (it usually takes him at least 30 minutes to do that)! Although he had the rapid shallow breathing due to his history of asthma, he didn’t cough during this first night and was able to sleep the entire night.
He only needed 2 nebulizer treatments to control his asthma symptoms*.
On the second night his asthma symptoms were gone and really slept well – even eliminated his snoring (a chronic problem due to stuffed sinuses).
By day 3, he had an occassional cough – not as frequent, severe or lingering like his previous experiences (lasts for at least 2 weeks). He was even able to play basketball and spend a day outside. I only had to give it to him in the morning and before going to bed.
I usually give it every 3 hours until cough is gone.
Here’s to green living and good health.
SAY NO TO DRUGS!
*Please do not take this as a cure to his asthma symptoms. I only used this to control his cough. I have been using other approaches to control his asthma and allergies all of which I believe have currently helped him recover quickly. Should his symptoms not improve with his doctor prescribed rescue medications, we are prepared to contact his doctor/take him to the ER as with previous experiences. I am hoping that he will no longer require these rescue asthma medications in the future.

As long as he’s not allergic to honey. Another alternative to honey is apple juice. Just make sure you rinse his mouth out afterwards to protect his tooth enamel.

I’ve had a cough for 2 weeks and have tried everything, and finally asked my doctor for prescription cough suppresant with codeine. Didnt work. Before hand I had tried two other suppresants and countless ways to suppress my cough so I could sleep at night. Considering I was desperate, I tried this natural remedy, and I couldn’t believe how well it worked compared to all the meds I took, even a prescription. Best bet is to drink plenty of water, use a nasal saline rinse, and take this.

after waking up, i usually cough violently. i took one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with one teaspoon of honey yesterday. this morning, i did not cough at all!
to think i spent a lot of money on A-ambroxol hcl, B-bromhexine hcl, butamirate citrate, C-carbocisteine, and D-dextromethorphan hbr. i could have saved a fortune if i just bought acv and honey in the first place

I usually take double the dose. Remember that it is FOOD – no side effects. Some people take up to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar daily just for the general health benefits. If you do an interent search on this you will find a lot of information.
After reviewing all …
After reviewing all the comments, I was surprised that nobody asked you about the dosage. Your tail describes administering 1/2 teaspoon of ACV & 1/2 teaspoon of honey. But this was a solution for your son, which (unless I missed it) wasn’t posted anywhere. How much of an increase would you say is recommended for an adult? According to your video description, you administered it to him twice in one night (1 1/2 hours later). That part’s clear, but how much sould an adult take? Any takers???
that was like $35 …
that was like $35 in medicine not including tax
Do you realize how …
Do you realize how much you polluted the water systems by throwing all that medicine down the sink. Never dispose of old medications that way – take them to the pharmacy to be recycled. Please!

Okay cool, i might keep it in mind for when i have a really bad cold, this one appears to be on the come down now thankfully. Thanks for reply
