Today one of my boys is sick --insert sad face
He was coughing all night .... Coughing is the worst...its so frustrating. So this morning I knew we had to stop that cough! As a mother, actually just as a human, I am not so keen on taking medicine for coughs, colds, headaches, etc. I am firm believer that if your head hurts your body is telling you something (DRINK MORE WATER!). Michael and I start every morning with a cup of Lemon Water, we squeeze half a lemon into a cup of water and chug it down. The benefits of lemon juice are insanely good for you. This along with our green smoothie breakfast helps to ensure we have a decent amount of healthy vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for the day. Did I mention our boys love drinking these smoothies.
Lemon Water Benefits
Back to our coughing problem: Today to help my little "Dockers" Im going to give him a teaspoon of honey this morning, the is afternoon, and again before bed. The honey coats the throat and helps decrease that tickling sensation. With every natural home remedy I try I cross my fingers, "Here's hoping"
