I was really worried with the SARS problem going around Singapore, so I tried this remedy when dad fell ill with the flu. Anything to ensure it isn't sars. Well if it was..this worked MIRACLES, if not, well it is a sure cure for the flu. Dad took it two nights before bed, and his flu left immediately. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A PEACE OF MIND!!!

This worked very, very well. I recall my Mom talking about a HOT TODDY that my Grandmom use to make and gave for sore throats and colds and coughs ........this must be what she made. Thanks for listing it !!!!

This is something even my pediatrician told my mom to use years ago (more than I care to admit to) when we would get a bad cold or cough. Still use it today!

This is an old family recipe of ours also and has always worked so well with those darn coughs. So glad Crystalina has listed this.

This really works. I had a cough that was so bad that I couldn't catch my breath and sleeping was next to impossible. I was so tired and sore I thought that I would try this. I used equal portions of each and sipped it in a 1 hour period and then went to bed. Initially I coughed a couple of times, but I fell to sleep and slept the entire night. Today I feel much better, I still have a cough, but it isn't as severe as it was yesterday. I'll make another mixture after dinner tonight and I think that I should be fine in the morning. Thanks so much for posting.
