Notes
The source presents this as a traditional home remedy for congestion and throat discomfort, but its claims about eliminating mucus, cleansing the lungs, boosting immunity, detoxifying the body, or relieving flu and colds are not established medical treatment claims. Do not give honey to children under 12 months. Use caution with hot liquid and steam.
