Yesterday I posted a home remedy for cough using coke and ginger.  This remedy works for me but not for my 6 year old daughter.  This morning she woke up with a persistent cough.  I was reading through some health articles and came across this home remedy and thought it is worth a try.  Though my daughter hated the taste, I made her swallow 4 teaspoons of this mixture.  I am really amazed how quickly she stopped coughing and I thought I should share this amazing remedy.

The recipe is from Herbally Yours by Penny C. Royal, 3rd Edition, June 1982. It seems to work for all kinds of coughs but especially for that dry  cough that keeps you awake at night.

It’s worth a try if you or your kids have that persistent cough.  Here’s the recipe.

 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
 1 Tablespoon honey
 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
 2 Tablespoons water


Mix and take by the teaspoon.
