When the cold season comes and you feel rundown, take this natural tea remedy to fight colds and flu the natural way!

You Need:
1 lemon, cut into quarters
1 inch of fresh ginger root, peeled and cut in half
3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled & cut in half
Honey to taste

You Do:
Add lemon, ginger & garlic to a small pot with water.  Bring to boil.  Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Drink the broth, adding lemon to taste.  Dink 1-2 cups, then bundle up warm and sleep under blankets.  

Why it Works:
Lemon is detoxifying, flushing the illness through the system; ginger heats the body, bringing illness to the surface; garlic is a natural antibiotic; honey soothes sore throats & is a natural sweetener.  Note: if you have high blood pressure, use less ginger.
