All Natural Cough Syrup (with Wild Cherry Bark)
While I love my elderberry syrup, I thought it would be so essential to have an item spe
cifically targeting a cough and an irritated throat. This wild cherry bark syrup helps soothe persistent coughs and will help give relief for that nighttime cough.
Wild Cherry Bark is harvested from the inner bark of wild cherry trees, this plant has a wide range of benefits. Wild cherry bark helps to open up the lower respiratory system and to help clear mucus that’s been stuck. It has a calming effect that eases coughing spasms that lead to irritated throats. Wild cherry’s calming and nervine properties help with that nighttime cough, that cough that always makes it so hard to sleep.
This herb is cooling to soothe sore, red, and inflamed tissues in the sinuses and throat. It’s not just useful for the occasional cold though. It can help ease asthma symptoms, support heart health, and help improve digestion.
Mullein is fantastic for coughs and irritated throats. Like wild cherry bark, mullein helps us cough up mucus and relieves inflammation and spasms. Mullein is especially good for moving stuck congestion and can help calm wheezing and unproductive coughing.
Vitamin C is key to a healthy immune system and skin (among other things). Rosehips are also really high in vitamin C and have a tart, fruity taste. They help tighten and tone tissues, fight free radical damage, and cool inflamed areas.
Hibiscus flowers are high in vitamin C and a great boost to this syrup.
In this cough syrup, I added elderberry for support. Elderberry is antiviral and great for flu season. High in vitamins A, B, and C elderberry can shorten the duration and severity of flu, even preventing it. I’ve added it to this cough syrup to give it a boost..
