For more information on the grant, including the other grant recipients, see the announcement on the Department of Agriculture website.

In the summary, the authors conclude that a spoonful of buckwheat honey is more effective than DM (and also more effective than no treatment at all) in alleviating the coughing and associated difficulty in sleeping caused by upper respiratory infections for children aged 2 to 18.

Cough and cold season is upon us.  In Connecticut, some school districts have even closed due to illness.  If you would like to try this remedy on your own, click here to purchase honey.  Why not give it a try?

REMINDER: Honey should never be given to children before their first birthday.
