Home-made Remedy for Common Cough and Colds

Since our country is a tropical one, the weather is a bit stubborn and sabi nga nila, sala sa init, sala sa lamig. The tendency is we often get sick especially  the young ones. If your immune system is weak, then you are susceptible to common colds and dry cough.

My  little boy, Hans is often like this. Due to weather changes, there are time na nagkaka sipon at ubo. Not like any other mommies, I don't want him to take over-the-counter meds right away. Those are my last option. Being a wide reader, I stumbled to this articles about good stuffs in using apple cider vinegar. 


  • Helps Heartburn and Acid Reflux. ...
  • Promotes Healthy Cholesterol. ...
  • Can Aid in Healthy Weight Loss. ...
  • Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar. ...
  • Has Antioxidant Properties. ...
  • Improves Nutrient Absorption.
  • Helps to Cure Cough and Colds


An then, I figured that giving this to children is a bit challenging, so I need to put something sweet in it. Honey comes in the picture. Then I added calamansi just to tweak the taste a little bit, and of course we all know that calamansi juice has its own healing power too..
Here's the recipe:

Mix all these..
  • 1 tbsp calamansi juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider
This is how the mixture looks like. I used plastic container to avoid acid reaction.
The taste is just like a super concentrated juice. Sweet and sour, just right for my little kiddo.


I am giving this to him before bedtime to ease the symptoms of colds and prevent stuffy nose.

Pricelist:
  • Honey in Landmark Php 59.00
  • Apple Cider in Shopwise Php 300+
  • Calamansi (market) Php 10.00 per pack
