Remedy for coughs, colds & flus

Ginger lemon honey tea recipe

Remedy for coughs, colds & flus

honey lemon ginger remedy

 

Ginger contains a bioactive compound, gingerol, which helps you sweat out the toxins in your body, which is helpful when you have a cold or flu.

Ginger is also a helpful home remedy for cough, settling upset stomachs, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and cold sweats.

Honey is a natural, cough suppressant (Which explains why the most effective cough drops use honey.) It also improves the body's ability to fight infections and decrease the risk of fevers.

Lemons contain high levels of vitamin C (especially the pith, the white part we usually avoid.) Vitamin C helps boost the immune system and neutralizes the body.

This reduces the inflammation in the body and swelling in the body when fighting off a common cold. 

Lemon also has the natural acidity that helps break down mucous as well as alleviate congestion.

INGREDIENTS: 

  • 2 lemons (thoroughly cleaned)
  • 2 piece fresh ginger (about the size of your index and middle finger)
  • Honey
  • 350ml jar

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Slice lemons and ginger .
  • Place the lemon and ginger slices in the jar, alternating layers of each.
  • Slowly, pour honey over the lemon and ginger.
  • Allow the honey to sink down and around the lemon and ginger slices.
  • Fill jar to the top with honey and seal tightly, store in the refrigerator.
  • Over time, the mixture will start to turn into a loose jelly.
  • When you are in need of some soothing tea, scoop 2-3 tablespoons into a mug full of hot water- be sure to scoop the whole pieces of ginger and lemon.
  • Allow to steep for 3-4 minutes and sip away.
