Honey to help your cold and sore throat

contributed by bruxonama 14 Jan | 11:34


When I was a kid, if I had a cold or sore throat, I remember my mum and my grandma always recommending a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey just before going to bed. I am not sure how much of a cure it was but it certainly helped relieve the sore throat (at least momentarily) and helped me get to sleep :-)
I still do this nowadays.
