This isn’t a “vacuum cleaner,” but a gentle, supportive remedy to help your body’s own cleansing processes.

You Will Need:

1 tablespoon of raw, organic honey

1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice

How to Make & Use It:

Simply mix the honey and lemon juice together in a small bowl until well combined.

Take one teaspoon of the mixture as needed to soothe throat irritation and cough.

You can also add it to a cup of warm (not boiling) water or herbal tea to sip slowly. The warm liquid helps further thin mucus.

For best results, consume this 2-3 times a day while you have symptoms.

Important Considerations & Safety
Do not give honey to children under one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism.

This is a soothing remedy, not a cure for underlying conditions like bronchitis, pneumonia, or COVID-19.

If your mucus is green, yellow, lasts for more than a week, or is accompanied by fever, shortness of breath, or wheezing, please see a healthcare professional.

Other Helpful Practices
To further help clear congestion:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of warm fluids like water, broth, and herbal tea.

Use a Humidifier: Adding moisture to the air can loosen mucus.

Inhale Steam: Lean over a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head for 5-10 minutes (be careful to avoid burns).

Get Plenty of Rest: Your body needs energy to fight off infection.
