"With the cold and flu season upon us ,here is a recipe for coughs that has been used for many years here in these mountains. It is from a very good friend of mine........... Ida's Homemade Cough Syrup."

1/2 cup of honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 pound hore hound candy
1 quart of liquor
sage
1/2 cup of water

Take two spoonfuls of sage and 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil.

Pour hot water mixture on candy in a half gallon jar and swish around until the candy melts.

Put rest of ingredients in jar and swish around until it's mixed.

You can leave out the sage and water but those ingredients open up your head.

Lasts up to 2 yrs.

Home Remedies for Cough

The symptoms of a typical cough usually subside on their own within 7-10 days. However, there are several simple home remedies that will provide relief from the discomfort associated with them. Choose any one of the following:

1. Three peppercorns, a pinch of black cumin seeds and a pinch of rock salt. Eat this, chewing thoroughly. If there is difficulty chewing, grind to a fine powder and consume with a bit of water and/or honey.
