onion and lemon cough remedy—a traditional recipe that transforms common kitchen ingredients into a
natural cough reliever.

Why Onion and Lemon Work for Coughs

• Onion: Rich in
  antioxidants and sulfur compounds, onions have been used for centuries as
  a natural expectorant. They help loosen mucus, reduce inflammation, and
  calm irritated airways.

• Lemon: Packed with
  vitamin C and natural acids, lemon boosts immunity and soothes the throat
  while adding a refreshing taste.

• Optional Honey: Not
  only does honey coat the throat, but it also has antibacterial properties.
  Perfect if you want to make the mixture sweeter and gentler for kids.
