Honey Recommended for Coughs, Allergies

Treat Your Children Naturally
By Rachel Murphy, The Mirror (UK), 2/2/2006

To mix your own cough medicine, Janey Lee Grace, author of Imperfectly Natural Woman, recommends steeping 1oz of thyme leaf in a cup of boiling water.

Cool, strain then mix with half a tablespoon of honey. "Take a teaspoon whenever you need it and it keeps in the fridge," she says. . .

Janey Lee Grace suggests giving kids locally-grown honey before the hay fever season starts as it can ward off the allergy. . .
