We all know how terrible it can be to get through the day if you are coughing and sneezing constantly. This is a real drag and it can slow down every activity you are doing daily. Plus, nobody likes to be in close proximity to a coughing person.
Additionally, the cough will also keep you up for the night, which is very annoying. Moreover, if kids are affected, due to their weak immunity, it can get worse and they will be unable to fight the virus, which may turn into a cold.
Normally, what you would do in this case is consult a doctor and you will probably get a cough description, like a cough syrup, which is believed to be the best medicine in this case. However, what you are not told is that pharmaceutical medicine might cause some side effects and severe complications, especially if you take them for a prolonged time.
Some of those side effects might be a migraine, headaches, drowsiness and rapid heart rate. Codeine and dextromethorphan are the two main ingredients which can be found in regular cough syrup.
What we are here for is to offer you an alternative, albeit natural remedy which will help alleviate the cough overnight. All you have to do is use raw honey and other potent ingredients. In this case we offer you our honey and ginger wrap, which will help you get rid of that nasty cough.
