Natural Antibiotic Syrup

Honey + Onion + Garlic = Cough-Busting Power!

This ancient remedy combines three potent ingredients to fight infections, soothe throat irritation, and cut through mucus fast. Safe for adults and kids (1+ years).

Why It Works

🍯 Raw honey – Antibacterial, coats the throat, suppresses coughs.
🧅 Onion – Contains quercetin (anti-inflammatory) and sulfur compounds (mucus-busters).
🧄 Garlic – Allicin (natural antibiotic) fights viruses/bacteria.

Recipe (Makes 1 small jar)

Ingredients

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4-5 garlic cloves, crushed or minced
½ cup raw honey (manuka honey for extra potency)

Steps

Kids (1+ years): 1 tsp, 2x daily.

Bonus Uses
