Cinnamon for Natural Respiratory Relief for People
If you suffer from bronchitis or feel a scratchy throat coming on, try whipping up a batch of this all-natural Chai Spiced Honey Bronchitis and Cough Relief.
Cinnamon Honey Bronchitis and Cough Relief (for people)
What you Need |1/2 cup local honey
Whisk the above ingredients together in a small glass jar and then add 1 teaspoon of the spiced honey into a cup of hot tea or coffee (or plain hot water) each morning or just eat right from the spoon. Store in a cool, dry place.
It's as simple as that. No cough drops, no cough medicine with codeine. Just good old-fashioned spices and honey. AND it actually tastes pretty good!
As little as a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon a day added to your diet can have wonderful health benefits, so sprinkle some on your cereal, and include it in baked goods, as well as in this spiced honey.
Note: There are two common types of cinnamon, Cassia and Ceylon. You'll want to try and find Ceylon cinnamon because it contains less coumarin (which can cause liver damage and thin the blood in excessive dosages), but either variety in moderation is just fine to incorporate into your diet.
