Posted by Jenna Ritter in : Healthy Recipies , add a commentWhen 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.
