I know my natural medicines work, but sometimes I'm surprised by how well they do work.
In the summer or 2024, I picked Mullien Flowers, shook off all the little black bugs, and placed them in honey. I let the flowers sit in the jar of honey for 3months. Stirring occasionally. On month 3, I warmed the jar of honey and flowers to pull out any extra medicine and to make it more pourable through the strainer. The light golden honey turned a dark golden brown.
The dark brown liquid procceded to sit on the shelf day after day, only being used maybe twice by my daughter in the winter of 2024. It continued to sit in my pantry and last night, I brought it out. I picked up something over the holidays. I feel fine during the day, but cough and cough at night. No sleep for me. No sleep for my hubby. I thought to myself...stop being lazy, get out of bed and try the honey!
I allowed two large tablespoons to coat my throat. Went back to bed. Not a single cough after that. 😳😀 Finally sleep and rest.
I'm actually a little bit bummed I didn't make another batch in the summer of 2025. My daughter said it does work, but I never got to try it out for myself. I guess I haven't been sick enough to actually use it. Plus, I tend to save my medicines for my children, to always make sure they have this limited resource. I can't buy this off the grocery store shelf. But it has now made me realize how important it is to make this medicine.
Yes, I do have mullien leaf tea that I can use for coughing too. But the Mullien Blossom Honey is so fast and effective. Can't believe it's still effective after all this time.
Be sure to make yourself some too in 2026!
