Mix it with tea, lemon and Scotch. Always worked for me.
I am asthmatic. As a child it was particularly bad. The doctors prescribed a cough medicine that gave me horrific nightmares. My mother, without telling the doctors took me off the cough medicine and instead made me Jim Beam and honey “hot toddies”. I slept soundly through the night. Problem solved.

Tea with lemon and honey....grandma knew best
ping to you.
Honey has had known antibacterial properties since ancient times.
I don’t buy it. If honey based cures were really so effective then the death rate in medieval times for poor fools would have been much lower than it was.
The elitist scum that currently rule America want us to be happy with attempting to treat disease with food ingredients like ignorant peasants and dying like flies.
So how do we apply it to our lung tissue? Is it good enough to have only fumes from the throat?
Yep. I always feel better after Wifey gives me a little “honey”.
Honey is too cheap. We must wait til Bill Gates has a cure developed that will cost much more. Till then honey must be banned from being used.
“Medical Xpress”
That has to be right up there with the New England Journal of Medicine ‘n stuff.
What do you suppose lead author Hibatullah Abuelgasim’s curriculum vitae looks like? Beekeeper?
One way I like to use honey and stay Keto is to take flavored rice cakes, apply cream cheese, then just enough honey to give it sweetness.
To me it’s like having a slice of cheesecake. Not quite but close enough.
Quick, easy, in low cost as well. Apparently I’m also warding off some of the nasties of the world.
If only it would remove leftists...

If you’re otherwise healthy, sure. If you’re immunesuppressed, not so much.
It’s something I munch on regularly anyway; on toast with butter. It settles my stomach, and local honey helps my dog’s skin.
The CBD honey helps her anxiety when I’m gone for days or weeks on a trip.
Thank you for posting this.
I'm 75...may parents always made honey and lemon tea for us when we had some type of cold/flu.
BTTT!!!
Last summer, I moved from Texas to Panama and was ill soon afterwards. My landlord suggested I needed to ingest some of the local honey because the local honey was produced by local bees who were spreading pollen from the local flowers and the honey was said to carry the antibodies to keep you from getting sick from local plants.
I can say it was helpful in soothing my throat and upper palate from too much sneezing but I can’t vouch for the rest. I’ve been suffering from allergies all summer and can only find temporary relief through honey or OTC medicines. I don’t want to take antibiotics constantly because I don’t want to become resistant to them.
I have a chronic cough that flares up sometimes, I usually have a bottle of prescription cough medicine for such times. Last time I had none. I finally tried honey melted in a small amount of HOT water. It stopped me from coughing as quickly as I drank it. AND lasted all night!
