Garlic Cough Syrup - Herbal remedy for Cough:  To prepare chop a handful of garlic cloves and place them in a jar. Completely cover the garlic with honey and securely fasten the lid of the jar. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 24 hours. Ideally, you would want the mixture to marinate for about two weeks but if you have a cough you can leave it for less time.  When you wake up take a tablespoon of the mixture to suppress your cough. Take it throughout the day if you feel the urge to cough.
