Raw Honey also boosts the immune system and helps the body fight the colds faster.

Cough and cold medicines are NOT RECOMMENDED for children under 6 years old.They are not effective and side effects can be very dangerous. 

Just remember that cough and cold medicines won’t cure your child’s cold or make it go away any sooner.  I am a huge believer in natural remedies. In my experience, they really work and also help the body fight the illness.  Please read My Story and why I believe in natural remedies.

Remember to always talk to your doctor about taking any medications or natural remedies.  Children under 1 should not eat honey.

Buying raw honey is for sure better. The benefits are amazing and all the nutrients are intact. Raw honey is full of vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants and anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. There are so many health benefits if you choose real raw honey.

You will be surprised to know that more than 3/4 of honey sold in grocery stores is not real honey

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration says that any product that’s been ultra-filtered and no longer contains pollen isn’t honey. However, the FDA isn’t checking honey sold here to see if it contains pollen.More than three-fourths of the honey sold in U.S. grocery stores isn’t exactly what the bees produce, according to testing done exclusively for Food Safety News.

The testing showed the following:

•100 percent of the honey sampled from drugstores like Walgreens, Rite-Aid and CVS Pharmacy had no pollen.

•77 percent of the honey sampled from big box stores like Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Target and H-E-B had the pollen filtered out.

•100 percent of the honey packaged in the small individual service portions from Smucker, McDonald’s and KFC had the pollen removed.

•Samples Food Safety News bought at farmers markets, co-ops and “natural” stores like PCC and Trader Joe’s had the full, anticipated, amount of pollen.

If you would like to buy raw pure honey, I recommend Tupelo honey from Florida. I buy it for my family and love the taste. It is always good to stay informed to make the best decisions for you and your family.
