Natural Cough Supressants

I know a lot of sick people right now... I like to call em "sickies". I hate taking medicine, try not to take anything unless the pain or discomfort is unbearable. One time I was prescribed Cough Syrup with Codeine, I took the prescribed amount before bed one evening and the next morning I nearly passed out at work, I barely remember driving home.

So I thought I'd share some natural cough suppressants with you all. FEEL BETTER!
