Honey and Lemon for Cough
The combo of honey and lemon as a home remedy for cough is popular for good reasons. Honey is a demulcent, which means that it forms a protective layer on the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat to soothe and prevent abrasion. In addition, honey acts a natural cough suppressant.
Lemon, a citrus fruit, is rich in Vitamin C which is advantageous to the immune system.
