Honey
Honey has been used as an anti-viral and anti-bacterial medicine since ancient times. It is effective in reducing symptoms of bronchitis because it helps soothe irritated mucus membranes. A study [11] was conducted in 2007 on children suffering from bronchitis and results showed that dark honey was effective in relieving this condition. The group that took honey as a remedy had better results than others that took doctor-prescribed medication.
Adding honey to your fluids like drinks or herbal tea or also helps to increase its medicinal effect. A mixture of honey and lemon is an ancient medicine to ease respiratory conditions; lemon is an expectorant, which helps loosen [12] phlegm so you can cough it up by increasing the water content and thinning it out.
