I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Zarbee’s Naturals. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
We have had many restless nights lately, thanks to cough and cold season. It’s never a good thing to wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of someone’s Cough! Cough! Cough! If it’s not one of the kids, it’s my husband or myself. Our family has not escaped the sickness going around lately.
I feel so bad for my children when they can’t sleep because of all the coughing. Of course, I want to relieve their symptoms. But cough syrup is unsafe for kids under 4 years old and I don’t like to give my children potentially harmful medications. I learned that there are drug-free cough and cold remedies available from Zarbee’s Naturals.
About Zarbee’s Naturals:
Father of four and Pediatrician Zak Zarbock, M.D. created Zarbee’s Naturals because he understands the need for parents to safely treat their child’s illnesses. A clinical trial showing how dark honey effectively soothes coughs and sore throats inspired him to make a safe and all-natural alternative for children and babies. His own little boys became “test subjects” and helped Dr. Zak create a great tasting, all-natural, vitamin-enhanced cough syrup.
Today, more than 40,000 doctors recommend Zarbee’s All Natural Cough Syrup as a way to treat cold symptoms safely and effectively. Zarbee’s Naturals products are drug-free, dye-free and gluten-free.
My family recently tried Zarbee’s Naturals Cough products for the first time. I like how they contain natural ingredients to fight cough and cold symptoms:
- Dark honey is rich in antioxidants clinically proven to be as effective as DXM in relieving coughs in children.
- Vitamin C boosts immunity
- Zinc boosts immunity
When I gave my 2-year-old Zarbee’s Naturals Cough Syrup, I saw nearly instant improvement. He quit coughing completely for a couple of hours, and the cough symptoms gradually returned by the time he needed a second dose. (Kids can take doses of Zarbee’s every 4 hours.) For nighttime, there is Zarbee’s Nighttime Cough Syrup, which includes melatonin to help kids get the rest their body needs.
I had never given my children melatonin as a natural sleep aid. After a bit of extra research, I decided it was a safe way to help my son relax and go to sleep. The Nighttime formula with melatonin works pretty instantly. He fell asleep fast and enjoyed several hours of cough-free sleep.
Other natural ways I like to treat my family’s cough and cold symptoms include using a humidifier, chicken soup and zinc. A humidifier adds moisture to the air and helps soothe dry nasal passages and throats. Chicken soup is a comfort food that warms us up and helps us feel better. And my husband and I start taking Zinc lozenges the second we feel a cold coming on.
Dr. Zak also offers the following tips for keeping your child’s cold symptoms in check:
I’m glad that I was introduced to Zarbee’s Naturals products. Their all-natural cough syrup has become my go-to remedy for my children’s coughs. Zarbee’s products are safe choices for my kids that really work. I will be keeping Zarbee’s Naturals in my medicine cabinet from now on and recommending it to other moms, too.

CrazyMom a/k/a Melanie says
We love this natural cough syrup in our home; my daughter always gets bad coughs that turn into Bronchitis and if I catch it fast enough and give her the natural cough syrup it doesn’t escalate.. We love it and can highly recommend it.

Sofia says
The cold bug is coming back for us too! My husband just came home last night with a cold and a nasty cough so I know my boys are next. Will look for this brand at the pharmacy/grocery store. 🙂
Nicole says
I hope the cold bug will skip the boys and you, too. It seems like this winter keeps on bringing germ after germ. But yes, have some Zarbee’s on hand just in case. It really helped my little ones when they were sick. They also have adult remedies for your hubby!
Amber Edwards says
Woot Woot! SO excited about that coupon! Free shipping totally clinched it for me. My stores don’t carry this brand, but I have seriously wanted to get some. I love the natural remedy approach. I don’t like giving my kids a lot of Pharmaceutical drugs, so I have been looking for a fantastic natural cough syrup. Especially since we have a nasty bug going through our house right now.
Nicole says
Hope you all get better soon. Yes, the Zarbee’s definitely helps the kids feel better and controls their coughing. Zarbee’s also has adult natural options, too. My husband likes the Daytime Drink for coughs/cold. I haven’t tried that one yet, but he’s been sick this week and mixing those up for himself.
Jeannette says
I’ve used Zarabee’s with my kids and love it! Great brand!
Scott says
We’ve used Zarbee’s in the past (available at our local Walgreen’s) and found it to be pretty effective!
