2 cough and chest congestion

This recipe is the one that I make in my own home for coughs and chest congestion. I have set up this recipe so that you can pick and choose which cough soothing herbs that you have on hand, to make your own Herbal Cough Syrup. You can omit the cinnamon and ginger, but they are great for coughs, circulating blood, and helping to boost your immunities. The honey can be substituted with maple syrup, vegetable glycerin, or white sugar, but raw unfiltered honey is by far the best option. It has been clinically proven to be more effective than your commercial cough syrups, plus it tastes WAY better!

-----

You can pick and choose the herbs you want to try in your homemade cough syrup, though I do still give you my personal recipe down below, with the option to modify it to your own needs!

• Anise Seed – Warm and spicy, anise seed is great  relieving dry painful spasmodic coughs with phlegm that is difficult to release. Spasmodic barking-like coughs also find relief with Anise seed.
• Chamomile – Chamomile has a long history of medicinal use. It’s natural soothing and anti-inflammatory properties make it great at helping to soothe all kinds of coughs. It’s also helpful to add chamomile to your syrup for it’s natural calming capabilities, to help you sleep better while getting over your cough.
• Cinnamon – Like ginger, cinnamon is a warming herb that helps with circulation, congestion, and boosting immunities which make it a great addition to any cold or cough syrup.
• Elecampane –  A natural expectorant Elecampane is perfect for wet phlegmy coughs that produce thick yellow/green mucus. Also great for bronchial and sinus infections that are producing colored phlegm.
• Garlic – Garlic has been used for centuries for all sorts of cold and flu symptoms, as a natural antibiotic. Not only will garlic help boost your immunities, it is a drying herb and an expectorant, making it great for wet coughs that are producing a lot of phlegm.
• Ginger – A warming herb that has been shown to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, boost your immunities, and even help to relieve coughs and sore throats. Ginger is an all around herb that I use in all of my cold related syrups!
• Hyssop – Hyssop is a fabulous addition to any cough syrup. It’s natural abilities to cool and moisten, makes it great for dry unproductive coughs. It’s also a great herb to help relieve pain from sore throats as well.
• Licorice Root – Another mucilaginous herb that helps to soothe inflammation, licorice root is great for all sorts of coughs. Its mucilaginous properties make it great for dry irritated membranes, while it’s also a natural expectorant, making it great for helping rid a wet productive cough of all the phlegm. Licorice root is also used in many syrups to help sweeten the flavor due to some of the bitter tasting herbs that many syrups contain.
• Marshmallow Root – Its mucilaginous and anti-inflammatory properties make marshmallow root great for dry inflamed throats. Marshmallow root is wonderful to soothe sore throats and dry irritating coughs, including bronchitis.
• Mullein Leaf – Mullein leaf has been known to be both antispasmodic and a great expectorant, making it a great remedy for deep wet coughs and spastic coughs. Mullein leaf is very effective at fighting an infection and reducing pain as well.
• Onion – Probably one of the most surprising ingredients that I find is great for all sorts of cold and flu symptoms, used for centuries to help clear a room of germs when people are ill, there are many old remedies for coughs, cold’s, ear infections and more. With natural antibacterial and expectorant properties, as well as its anti-inflammatory properties, onion is a great addition to any cough syrup.
• Thyme – Thyme is a powerful disinfectant and antiseptic,  so  it also helps to fight off colds and infections. Great for all sorts of coughs but especially for dry coughs.
• Wild Cherry Bark – A Native American medicinal staple, cherry bark has long been used for coughs and colds. Cherry bark is great at combating dry and irritable coughs. Overuse of cherry bark can be toxic. Do not use for more than 2 weeks at a time.
• Slippery Elm – Another great mucilaginous herb, slippery elm is great for all sorts of coughs, helping to soothe inflamed membranes.
• Red Clover Tops – Used for centuries to help cleanse the body and boost the immune system, red clover has long been used to treat bronchitis and other upper respiratory infections. A warming expectorant, red clover is known to help relieve chest congestion and  syrup is a really simple and easy cough syrup that works really well! In the heat of the moment, if you do not have all the herbs and ingredients to make the other syrup, this one will do in a  flash!
