Best Ayurvedic remedies to help soothe a cough and flu for my 6 year old?

Honey helps! Since your child is old enough to eat honey safely, you can consider the use of honey. My grandma used to mix honey with hot water with a squeeze of lemon. The lemon adds Vitamin C while the honey soothes the throat. Another popular traditional remedy for flu and cough includes mixing honey with a bit of ginger juice and a dash of black pepper.
