Cough it up!!

When we get a cough, they are just annoying, and sometimes painful, but we do get them for a reason—usually to bring out all the yucky stuff doesn’t belong. Piggybacking on my last post about making horehound cough syrup, this article from one of my favorite herb blogs was super helpful in giving me a better perspective on the purpose for coughs. Certain herbs are helpful in expectorating the mucous that forms, and John, The Herb Mentor, brings us a wonderful recipe from a well respected herbalist on how to make our own cough drops this winter.

Blessings!
