Honey Can also Soothe Inflamed Tissues.

Honey can also soothe inflamed tissues and irritation in the throat that triggers cough reflex.  A recent study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found that children with upper respiratory tract infections, when given up to 2 tablespoons of honey at bedtime, slept better and coughed less than those given typical doses of over-the-counter medicines containing the cough suppressant Dextromethorphan.   2 tablespoons of honey has a huge bonus because honey is loaded with antimicrobial compounds and kills almost 100% of the viruses and bacteria that cause chronic sinusitis within two weeks.
