About Author

Honey has been used for generations to soothe irritated throats, and research suggests it may help reduce nighttime coughing in adults and children over one year old. But natural doesn’t automatically mean safe for every age. Honey must never be given to babies younger than 12 months because it can contain spores that cause infant botulism, a serious illness. Knowing when a natural remedy is appropriate is just as important as knowing its potential benefits.

Tip of the Day:
For adults and children at least one year old, a small amount of honey may soothe an occasional cough. Never give honey to an infant under 12 months. Seek medical advice for persistent or concerning symptoms.

Spiritual Focus:
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” — Proverbs 4:7

Prayer Suggestion:
Ask God for wisdom and discernment when choosing safe ways to care for your family’s health.
