 Homemade onion syrup with lemon and honey in a glass jar on a wooden table. Natural home remedy for sore throat and cough relief.

For our grandparents, and great grandparents, most did not go to the doctors on a regular basis. Instead, they often used various home remedies and homeopathic remedies. We know this because archeologists have unearthed evidence that they used plant-based treatments (found consistently all around the world).

In fact, it was from our ancestral roots that modern-day pharmaceutical companies derived their synthetic drugs today. Aspirin, for example, was created as a replica of the substance found in willow bark that provides a natural pain reliever.

Today, many people are diagnosed with different lung diseases or disorders, including things like asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema (or even just a chronic cough that won’t seem to go away). What we aren’t told, however, is how to alleviate these symptoms with simple traditional remedies such as the one described below.

In the past, our ancestors have prepared this traditional remedy to treat conditions surrounding the lungs, and those who have already tried it confirm that our grannies and grand-daddies were right about its great healing power.

Ingredients:

– 1 pound (1/2 kg) sliced red/purple onions
– 2 cups pure maple syrup
– 2 medium sized lemons (preferably organic)
– 6 cups (1.5 litres) water
– 1/3 cup raw honey

Method:

1. Place the pure maple syrup in a large skillet and preheat on medium heat. Add the sliced onion, and cook for a couple minutes. Then, add the water.

2. Boil the mixture on medium heat until the water is reduced by a third. Let it cool, and as it is doing so, squeeze the lemons and set the juice aside. Once cooled, add the honey and lemon to the mixture and stir well.

3. Let the mixture sit overnight and in the morning squeeze out the liquid and keep it in a glass bottle.

How To Consume It:

Take a tablespoon of the natural medicine before each meal (children should take one teaspoon before each meal). Repeat the treatment until your lungs start feeling better.

    I had been hospitalized for 3 years in a row all in the same month march, for shortness of breath. They thought it was asthma. The last time which was this year, they hospitalized me for a week. Which they ran lots of test and determined I have COPD. The symptoms I had were shortness of breath, tired, and coughing. Oxygen doesn't seem to help, medication wasn’t helping too (Spiriva and Advair plus nose sprays).although my doctor was wanted me to use it, to reduce symptoms and slow down progression but I could not tolerate them for long due to severe side effects. I decided to adopt a more natural approach and started on COPD Herbal formula from Green House Herbal Clinic, the COPD natural formula immensely helped my condition, i had a total recovery from COPD with this natural herbal formula treatment. Green House Herbal Clinic official web site ww w. greenhouseherbalclinic. com. I feel alive again! The coughing, tiredness, shortness of breath and other symptoms has subsided.  I am very pleased with this treatment. sometimes i totally forget i ever had COPD,Don't give up hope, My family are amazed at the change and rapid recovery from COPD. Needless to mention I haven't smoked since the procedure and I enjoy walking the dog for my daily exercise
