Natural Banana and Honey Remedy Proven to Soothe Kids' Coughs

A study conducted at Imperial College London found that children who ate bananas at least twice a day during winter were significantly less likely to develop asthma triggered by cold-related coughs.

According to the researchers, mashed bananas mixed with honey create an effective remedy for easing cold and cough symptoms, due to the vitamins and minerals they contain. To prepare the mixture, they recommend using two organic bananas, two tablespoons of organic honey, and one cup of water.

Boil the water thoroughly. Peel the bananas and mash them in a large bowl using a wooden spoon.

Once the water has boiled, pour it over the mashed bananas and wait for the mixture to cool. Then add the honey and stir until you get a thick, yogurt-like consistency.

This remedy should be stored in the refrigerator and warmed before consumption. Best if used it within three to four days.
