Home remedy for stubborn cough.

Yesterday, I tried the cough home remedy I saw online. The ingredients consisted of lemon, onions, ginger, garlic and honey. You don't have to add water but only squeeze out the juices from the ingredients. I did mine by blending onion, ginger and garlic with the juice of the lemon. After I extracted the juices, I added some homey and had two to four spoonfuls. It is about 24 hours after I started this remedy and I can feel a great improvement. I don't know if it is a placebo effect but I have not coughed after I began taking it and that itchiness in my throat is gone. This is great! A month of a niggling and annoying cough, gone! What are some of the home remedies that work for you?
