\"honey<\/p>\n

For the past 10 days, I had a brutal cold and cough. As I lay supine on the sofa, my kids hovered over me (\u201cMom, you good?\u201d), and I tried everything I could think of \u2014 menthol lozenges, Ricola lozenges, Robitussin, Robitussin PM, Advil, Advil PM, Mucinex, hot lemon tea, a humidifier, two humidifiers, steamy showers, stacked-up pillows, fresh air, the list goes on.<\/p>\n

\"cold<\/p>\n

Nothing seemed to help \u2014 all day, all night, the hacking cough remained \u2014 until finally, my friend suggested something simple.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t you have a teaspoon of honey?\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d spent a fortune on drugstores medicine and doubted a bite of honey would move the needle. But I figured, why not, and pulled out our honey bear.<\/p>\n

YOU GUYS. I stopped coughing almost immediately. Apparently honey coats your throat? I don\u2019t really know the reasoning and you know what I don\u2019t need to know. I wasn\u2019t coughing and felt SO relieved. That night, I slept through the night for the first time in more than a week.<\/p>\n

Maybe everyone already knows this remedy, but I figured I\u2019d share in case anyone else, like me, was unaware. I\u2019m sipping honey tea as I write this very sentence, and I\u2019m so glad to know this trick!<\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Pre-honey discovery.<\/em><\/p>\n

How are you feeling these days? Any other cold remedies you\u2019ve found helpful?<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. The silver lining of being under the weather<\/a>, and how to make a hot toddy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
