Honey
for Cold & Flu
Honey for cough suppression - one of the most evidence-based natural remedies for acute cough particularly in children.
How it works
Honey soothes pharyngeal mucosa, has mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and may suppress cough through demulcent effects.
What to watch for
Never give honey to children under 12 months — risk of infant botulism. Not a treatment for the underlying viral infection.
