I have recently been reliably informed that chocolate may help relieve intense coughs. How magnificent is that?! It's meant to be dark chocolate, of course. Here are a couple of links about this: here and here. Even the sometimes skeptical Dr Weil says it might work (here).
As someone who has always gagged on cough syrups (have you ever tried Buckley's?!?), I am thrilled to learn that there are even chocolate cough drops such as this.
Everyone seems to agree that efficacy depends on it being good quality chocolate with 70-80% cocoa content. I think I can bear up under that strain.
I didn't know that. Works for me.
