To treat all the symptoms of chronic coughs, all you need is the honey wrap.

Some of the benefits are you won’t experience any side effects because all of the ingredients are natural.

You probably have most of them in your kitchen right now!

The one ingredient that is of most importance is the coconut oil.

The lauric acid in the oil is reportedly able to break down the protective fatty layer that surrounds virus cells.

Honey, when eaten, can do the same thing.

You may know that honey helps soothe coughs when eaten – but it can also help if applied to the skin.

Here is how to make the honey wrap.

Add honey to one teaspoon of flour.

Add a little coconut oil and make a paste.

Smear the paste on the napkin and tape it to your chest with the medical tape.

Children can wear it for a few hours, adults can keep it on all night.

If you need to, you can replace the wrap now and again.
