Red Onion and Honey for a cough

Most people don't know about this age old remedy, says Joe Nowell, Compounding Pharmacist at The Fresh Pharmacy in Lenoir City.

Tons of vitamins and minerals come from the onion and the honey provides healing and soothing properties.

Just take a whole onion and slice it thin. Layer the mixture with onion, then add honey and the sweetener of choice (either stevia or brown sugar), continue to layer and alternate until the entire onion has been used. Cover and allow the container to set at room temperature for 12-15 hours. When finished use the syrup at the bottom for a natural cough remedy. It should produce about a full cup of the antioxidant, nutrient rich syrup. One spoonful as needed will do the trick.
