Black pepper tea
Surprisingly this recipe turns out to be a crossroad of New England folk medical traditions and Chinese medical practice. Black pepper helps mucus to flow and honey which is another ingredient of this tea is a soft natural antibiotic. Put 1 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper with 2 teaspoons of honey into hot water. Leave covered for another 15 minutes, strain and sip slowly to cure your cough.

Honey, lemon and flax
Homemade syrup cooked out of these three superfoods is really effective. Bring to a boil 3 tablespoons of flaxseed with a cup of water until water thickens. Strain patiently (do not overcook the mixture as it will be a problem to strain it then) and add 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice (of course it is better to use organic lemons) and honey. Take 1 tablespoon whenever you feel the cough is near or to quiet a cough that already started.
