There is nothing more annoying and uncomfortable than a persistent cough, lung irritation, mucus build up, etc.
It is especially tough on young children who have a difficult time dealing with a nasty cold. Most doctors are quick to prescribe all kinds of medicines to alleviate the symptoms and speed up the recovery.
We are often advised to buy cough syrup to zap the cold or take meds containing codeine and dextromethorphan. The first one can make you zombie-like, and the latter tells your brain to suppress a cough that actually needs to be released.
There’s a better, safer and natural way to alleviate coughs and lung mucus. It’s inexpensive, easy to put together and you don’t have to swallow a thing. In fact, this type of remedy concept can be traced back to days of yesteryear, when our great grandparents used to make chest salves.
In this case, they call it the “Honey Wrap.” We adapted a recipe from DavidWolfe.com. Buy these ingredients: Organic Pure Honey, Flour, Melted Coconut Oil, Napkin or Paper Towel and Adhesive Medical Tape.
DIY Honey Wrap directions: Mix some flour with honey. Add a little coconut oil to create a thick, sticky paste. Next, apply the paste mixture to a napkin or paper towel.
Place the compress in the middle of your chest and keep it in place with medical tape. Adults can wear this overnight; children can wear it for about three hours. You will begin to feel better with this natural treatment.
