today i’d like to discuss one second

geez

today i’m going to talk about the best

homemade cough syrup and sore throat

soother

i’m sorry i just like demonstrating

various symptoms when i talk about them

sometimes people don’t get my dry sense

of humor when i’m trying to be

funny all right this video is on

coughing and a sore throat one of the

best remedies now it does involve honey

in other videos i’ve always talked about

honey and how it can affect your blood

sugars but in this circumstances if you

have a cough especially a chronic cough

or a sore throat

i changed my viewpoint on that i’m going

to tell you why in a minute if it’s a

very specific type of honey but this

remedy involves a certain type of honey

which i’ll explain

lemon

apple cider vinegar

and water and the active ingredient that

has most the benefits is manuka honey

okay this is a very specific type of

honey that has some very interesting

effects uh very interesting research

and a lot of natural chemicals that

create all sorts of effects so even

though

it is a sugar it’s 70

fructose and 30

glucose okay it can affect your blood

sugars it has a lot of other things in

it that can actually help you for

various things which i’m going to go

through there’s some massive research on

this type of honey i’m going to put all

the links down below but in one study it

worked better than an antibiotic and

certain medications for coughing

and so just to clarify

it’s not the fructose or the glucose

that’s creating the positive effect it’s

all the other amazing chemicals that

these little bees go out and extract

from flowers and bring back to the

beehive specifically the manuka bush

which has some amazing amazing

phytochemicals manuka honey has been

shown to decrease the symptom of a sore

throat

it has positive benefits for burns all

types of burns it’s great for wound

healing

as well as ulcers like in bed sores in

fact it’s an approved fda treatment for

both wound healing and bed source

apparently some of these natural

chemicals in honey release oxygen from

your hemoglobin and speed up the healing

process it has anti-allergy effects

anti-inflammatory effects it can inhibit

an upper respiratory tract infection it

has anti-thrombotic effects which help

reduce clotting

it has major beneficial immune effects

it also inhibits a strep bacterial

infection

as well as showing positive benefits for

gingivitis and periodontal disease

even though it’s a sugar it does not

cause cavity in fact it can reduce

plaquing and again i’m not recommending

this as part of your diet because it has

a lot of sugar in it but for coughs and

a sore throat you might want to try this

so this is simply how to make it you get

a mason jar okay with a lid

and you add two tablespoons of apple

cider vinegar why

well

apple cider vinegar increases

phagocytosis it can help speed up the

immune process and get you through this

infection a little bit faster also apple

cider vinegar is anti-microbial

all right

second thing is you’re going to add two

tablespoons of lemon juice

if you have the time i would prefer

if you took one whole lemon make sure

it’s organic and blend the whole lemon

as a part of your lemon instead of the

lemon juice why

because there’s going to be a lot more

vitamin c if you have this raw blended

lemon mixture

in this concoction but if you don’t have

time for that and you want more

convenience just use two tablespoons of

lemon juice preferably organic

now lemon juice has some some really

amazing properties too um it can act as

a natural antibiotic it has

antimicrobial properties it can also

suppress a cough all right the third

thing you’re gonna add is two

tablespoons of manuka

honey then you’re gonna add eight ounces

of water you’ll shake it up

keep it in the refrigerator okay

and i would recommend taking it as a

shot get a shot glass take a shot at a

time

slug it down let it like permeate your

throat and swallow it and you can do

that several times a day now i don’t

recommend boiling this because we’re

dealing with enzymes and certain

chemicals that can be affected with heat

however

another thing you could do that works

pretty good

is make some slippery elm bark tea

okay and then you can let it cool down a

little bit add the honey to it like one

tablespoon okay you can melt it into the

mixture and you can sip that as a tea

just don’t add the honey when it’s

really really hot and as one additional

point if you’re going to blend the lemon

instead of using the lemon juice

what i would do is i would mix

everything together

okay the water the honey the apple cider

vinegar and the glass of water

and blend that as one unit okay and then

you can keep it in the fridge now it’s

going to be pretty

strong it’s going to be pretty potent so

when you slug this down

it might initially kind of irritate your

throat because of the apple cider

vinegar so if that’s the case then you

can add more water but for most people

it seems to suppress the cough

now if you haven’t seen my other video

on lemon water that’s a really good one

i’ll put it up right here check it out
