Honey and Onion Cough Syrup 4 oz jar.
Why this works
Onion contains sulfur compounds and mild expectorant properties that can help loosen mucus and soothe irritated airways.
Raw honey soothes the throat, coats mucous membranes, and has mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Simple stovetop method
Peel and finely chop or thinly slice the onion.
Place the onion in a small saucepan and add just enough water to barely cover (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup).
Simmer gently over low heat for 10–15 minutes until the onion softens and the liquid turns slightly golden. Do not boil vigorously.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Strain the liquid into a small jar, pressing the onion to extract as much juice as possible.
Stir in 2–3 tablespoons of raw honey and the optional lemon juice and ginger. Mix until smooth.
Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
Dosage and use
Adults and children over 1 year: 1–2 teaspoons every 2–3 hours as needed. Do not give honey to infants under 12 months.
Stop use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen, fever develops, or cough persists more than a week.
Safety and precautions
Do not give honey to infants under 12 months due to risk of botulism.
If you have allergies to onions or honey, do not use.
If you are on medications, pregnant, or have chronic conditions, consult your healthcare provider before regular use.
This is a traditional home remedy and not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. Seek medical attention for severe, persistent, or worsening respiratory symptoms, difficulty breathing, high fever, or signs of infection.
Storage
Refrigerate for up to 6 months. Discard if it smells off or shows signs of fermentation.
