The Doctors Cough Remedy Smoothy
**I tried this today with out the cayenne because I dont have any & it was pretty good.**
The Doctors Cough Remedy Smoothy
Have a cough that just won't go away? Try The Doctors' Cough Remedy!
1 cup grapes (with seeds)
2 tablespoons honey*
2 tablespoons lemon juice*
1 dash cayenne pepper*
*Adjust proportions to taste
Combine all ingredients and mix in a blender. Serve warm, as the warmth of the liquid will not only soothe
the throat and lungs, but also help break down mucus buildup.
The ingredients in the cough remedy work in the following ways:
Grapes
• The seeds contain high levels of proanthocyanidins, natural chemicals packed with powerful antioxidant
properties.
• They fight against lung cancer and promote positive lung cell growth.
Honey
• The texture can help soothe and protect the throat from irritation.
• Naturally fights bacteria and is helpful in attacking germs that colonize in the nose, sinuses and lungs.
• Infants under the age of 1 should never be given honey, as it can cause serious digestive complications or
even death.
Lemon
• It is a natural cold expectorant.
• Soothes inflamed throat membranes
• Makes the throat less vulnerable to irritation, which can cause coughing.
Cayenne Pepper
• Capsaicin, which makes the pepper spicy, exhibits antioxidant powers, which can prevent bacterial infections. It also makes mucus thinner, which helps move it out of the lungs.
