I am asthmatic. As a child it was particularly bad. The doctors prescribed a cough medicine that gave me horrific nightmares. My mother, without telling the doctors took me off the cough medicine and instead made me Jim Beam and honey “hot toddies”. I slept soundly through the night. Problem solved.

My little brother was severely asthmatic. My mom went to a local honey bee farm and got several jars for his asthma and my allergies. It worked.
I was prescribed Quadrinal - a combination of ephedrine, theophylline, and phenobarbital. What a trip!
