Homemade Cough Syrup!!
Hey guys! So, for the last few weeks I have been a bit ill! We spent a little time at the Grand Canyon, and the drastic temperature change from Las Vegas to the mountains was too much for my poor body. I had something close to a cold, but no one else got it. It did manage to make me cough uncontrollably, and lose my voice for a week!
The good news is that it reminded me of our homemade cough syrup! It also only has one ingredient...are you ready to find out what it is???
Pineapple Juice!
Pineapple juice contains bromelain, an enzyme that eats away mucus...it is also anti-inflammatory. If you've ever had your tongue burn while eating pineapple, that's bromelain! Turns out it's not only trying to eat away mucus, but the rest of you as well...but no worries, your stomach acid is stronger. 😉
No kidding, there I was with one of those morning coughing fits. My face was red, my chest was tired...my family was trying to sleep, and I couldn't stop. Then I remembered I had a can ready so I popped it open, and my first sip relaxed my whole chest. The mucus began to break up easier, which really helped my cough.
The easiest way to come by pineapple juice is canned pineapple packaged in 100% juice. You can probably buy it own it's own as well.
Below I've left a recipe from healthline.com for those of you that like to concoct!
1 cup pineapple juice
1 tsp. minced or chopped ginger
1 tbsp. honey
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
Throw in a blender!
Hope you are all well, and don't need this!

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am getting over a bad cold and I always feel cough syrup and cough drops make it worse. I will definitely give this a try next time I have a coughing fit.
Oh no! It's just that season, isn't it? All the over the counter cough remedies always taste so bad! I find that when the juice is cold it feels even better!

Hi there! Thank you!! Cough syrups are seriously the worst. I remember when I was kid throwing up after drinking Vicks 44...I think that was it...I never had to drink it again! Haha
Hello lovely lady! :D You're most welcome. :D
Yes they are, I've never been a fan, but sometimes you just have to suck it up and use some to get any peace. :D Have you ever tried the Buckley's cough syrup? I tried to try it once but made the mistake of breathing in as I got close and the smell changed my mind, LOL. :D
Do your kids like the flavor of your homemade cough syrup? :D I bet they like it much more than any of the ones available in the stores these days. :D
God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
