Coughing is a natural reflex that clears the airways from secretions, foreign particles, and microbes. A temporary and painless cough can help you to protect yourself from deadly particles and to prevent many airborne diseases.

Homemade Cough Drops

However, if a cough is chronic and persistent, it requires an immediate treatment. Many people tend to use lozenges in order to treat a cough.

However, these medications don’t address the actual root of the problem, and they are packed with harmful chemicals which can cause many adverse effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, vomiting, and stomach cramps.

Instead of using these medications, you should try the following homemade remedy that will strengthen your immune system and relieve your cold and flu symptoms fast and naturally.

Here is a recipe for making cough drops which will help you to treat a sore throat, cough, and congestion.


  • 100ml of coconut oil
  • 100g of raw organic honey
  • A pinch of Ceylon cinnamon


In order to prepare these cough drops, first, you should pour the coconut oil into a bowl. Then, slowly add the honey and whip the ingredients until you get a thick paste. Afterward, add the cinnamon to the bowl.

When you are done, pour the mixture into empty ice cube trays and place them in the freezer for 30 minutes. You should store the cough drops in a glass Mason jar in your refrigerator for up to 2 months.

These cough drops can help you to alleviate a cough, soothe a sore throat, treat an inflammation in the respiratory tract, and relieve any breathing difficulties. You may also use the cough drops as a preventative measure on a daily basis.
