The older generation in my family swear by this old cough tincture
Cut a large spanish onion in half
Leave on a clean plate
Cover both halves of the onion with sugar and wait a day for the sugar to dissolve
The syrup left at the bottom of the onion on the plate is the tincture
Take a table spoon every couple of hours
Apparently it works for flu too
I have tried this when I've felt really ill and it worked for me, the cold was gone in a day...
I can't discount the placebo effect though as I really felt bad and I really wanted it to work!
In the old days sugar was rationed (during and after the world war 2), so you had to feel REALLY bad to do this
Quoting: TheFierceOne Wow,thanks for that. I saw a tincture many swear by. I am gong t try it, and see if it works.
