DIY Natural Cough Drops

June 11, 2013 by Shellie Wilson 3 Comments

071_edited-1

Once again I have been hit with a cold/flu thing. This time it has gone right to my throat and left me unable to shout at the kids which means they are getting away with everything.

I seem to be popping chemical tablet over and over again and really felt the need to find something natural for my body. Something natural other than garlic bread which tastes lovely but whilst my immune system loves the garlic my hips are not too sure about the carbs.

This DIY cough drop recipe from Bakeaholicmama.com is going straight into my recipe book.

Ingredients – Honey!  Yes that’s it – just honey, nothing else.

    When I saw your topic, I was hoping you had found something I could use, but am deathly allergic to honey. The only thing I have found of the natural variety is something that has been used in our family for generations. We called it vinegar candy. It is just boiled vinegar, sugar and a dab of butter. Only trouble is it takes a lot of time and effort to make it. Was hoping for an easier method.

    You do realize that there are chemicals in honey, right?

    The difference is that the chemicals in the commercial cough drop have actually undergone tests to determine the safety and the efficacy of the dosage.

    So sorry, but don’t fret I have not forgotten you. Here is a recipe that doesn’t contain honey.

    http://www.instructables.com/id/Cough-Drops/
    And this one has just 1 tbs so I think omitting it wouldn’t be too much of an issue

    Let me knowing you make them and we can feature a non honey version with our readers.

Self-Love Spell Bath Bomb: Venus Ritual for Witchcraft and Beauty Spells

In modern witchcraft, self-love is a revolutionary act of magic. Whether you’re deep in shadow work or simply craving a moment of softness, crafting a bath ritual around self-worth is one of the most powerful spells you can cast. This Self-Love Bath Bomb Spell channels the energy of Venus, Aphrodite, and divine feminine beauty, helping you draw in love, radiance, and inner peace.

Using sacred ingredients with metaphysical correspondences like rose, vanilla, and pink Himalayan salt, this spell bath bomb turns your tub into a temple of unconditional self-devotion. This is glamour magick from the inside out.

Purpose

To open the heart, boost confidence, and draw loving energy to yourself. Best used on a Friday (Venus day) or during the waxing moon.

Scent Meaning

  • Rose: Romantic, soft, divine feminine energy
  • Vanilla: Comfort, sweetness, emotional warmth

Color & Ingredient Symbolism

  • Pink Himalayan Salt: Love, purification, emotional healing
  • Strawberry or Hibiscus Powder: Passion, sweetness, beauty
  • Rose Petals: Attraction, self-devotion
  • Pink Color: Love, compassion, Venus and Aphrodite energy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/2 cup pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 tbsp powdered strawberry or hibiscus
  • 1 tsp dried rose petals
  • 10 drops of rose essential oil
  • 5 drops vanilla oil
  • Witch hazel in a spray bottle
  • Rose quartz chip (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Mix essential oils into a small amount of melted carrier oil and stir into the bowl.
  3. Add pink mica or beetroot powder for color if desired.

  2. Light a pink candle and place a mirror beside the bath.
  3. Gently speak or chant affirmations into the water.
  4. Gaze into the mirror and say your name with love.
  5. After the bath, write a letter to yourself as if you were your own soulmate.

Self-love spells are not vanity—they’re soul nourishment. By setting time aside to bathe in sacred energy, you’re reminding your heart of its inherent worth. Keep a journal nearby, and write any insights that surface. This witchcraft beauty ritual is more than skincare—it’s sacred spellwork for your soul.

Use this bath bomb any time you feel disconnected, unloved, or in need of a magical reset. The more you love yourself, the more the universe responds in kind.
