Sorry that I haven't been caught up with posts lately. Recently I've caught this really bad case of the flu. Having horrible congestion and awful coughing. I've stumbled upon a nice remedy, which actually came from my mother. I've been drinking a mixture of honey, lemon, and hot water. That's it, and I've been feeling much better. You get vitamin C from the lemon, we all need more of that right? Well, the honey has some mysterious healing properties. Lifehacker did a post about some research done at Pen. State College of Medicine, which was analyzing the healing properties of honey.
The study actually focused on children (for whom stronger cold medicines aren't recommended), and although I doubt honey can knock you out like a spoonful of NyQuil, the honey stood up very well in the tests, consistently outscoring cough medicine in parents' ratings of their children's symptoms.
The sweetness of honey is a plus too.
