Ingredients
-
Honey – 1–2 tablespoons
-
Honey soothes irritation in the throat and has mild antibacterial properties.
-
-
Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon
-
Lemon juice helps break down mucus and provides vitamin C to support your immune system.
-
How to Use
-
Mix honey and lemon juice in a cup of warm water.
-
Drink slowly while it’s warm, allowing it to coat your throat.
-
Repeat 2–3 times a day as needed.
Why It Works
-
Honey: Coats and soothes the throat, making coughing less harsh.
-
Lemon: Acidic juice helps thin mucus, making it easier to expel.
-
Warm water: Steam and heat help loosen congestion in the airways.
Optional tip: You can add a pinch of ginger or cayenne pepper for an extra mucus-thinning boost, but it’s optional—this recipe works with just the two main ingredients.
If you want, I can also give a slightly stronger 3-minute “hack” version that helps clear stubborn chest congestion quickly without any medicine. Do you want me to share that?
