As Jamaicans, we’ve all grown up with our grandparents tried-and-true remedies for coughs and colds. The soothing effects of honey, rum, lime, eucalyptus, and menthol have been staples in every household for generations. Now, these time-honoured traditions are conveniently available in four Benjamins trusted products: Balsam Cough Mixture, Honey Time, Vapour Rub, and Eucalyptus Oil.
Benjamins Balsam Cough Mixture is specially formulated to ease dry, hacking coughs that linger even after a flu has passed. Much like the herbal concoctions our elders would brew, this syrup provides deep, lasting relief, soothing the throat and reducing persistent coughing. Ideal for nighttime use, it helps ensure restful sleep by suppressing irritating coughs.
Benjamins Honey Time Cough & Sore Throat Relief brings the wisdom of traditional home remedies into a bottle. Made with honey, rum, and lime, and fortified with Vitamin C, this syrup is the same effective remedy our grandparents prepared—without the hassle of making it yourself. Perfect for soothing a sore throat and calming a stubborn cough, Honey Time is a must-have for the season. Enjoy its rich, comforting taste while reaping the benefits of its powerful ingredients.
Benjamins Vapour Rub is a childhood staple that provides relief from congestion and muscle aches. Apply it to the chest to clear airways or try an old Jamaican remedy—rubbing it under the soles of your feet and wearing socks overnight to ease cold symptoms. Our product can also be massaged onto sore muscles for added comfort and relief.
Benjamins Eucalyptus Oil has long been used to clear congestion and loosen phlegm. Add a few drops to boiling water and inhale the steam for natural relief or use a humidifier for babies to aid breathing. Additionally, mixing a few drops with carrier oil and massaging it onto the chest can further open the airways and promote easier breathing.
Embrace these traditional yet convenient solutions this cough and cold season and keep your family healthy the natural way!
