The Bottom Line
There’s no secret kitchen hack that replaces medicine—but simple remedies like warm water and honey can support your body naturally and help you feel better while you recover. Think of this as a comfort tool, not a cure.
Sometimes, the most helpful solutions aren’t dramatic—they’re gentle, consistent, and smart.
