Home Cold and Flu Remedy

When our high school senior stayed home with a cold, she requested lemons, ginger, and honey.   Alone these ingredients are powerful but combined they make a potent remedy against a number of ailments.

Fresh Lemon:  Great source of Vitamin C, and bioflavonoids (Pain and Repair Guards).

Fresh Ginger and Raw Honey *:   Anti-viral, and Anti-imflammatory.

(* Raw Honey is not intended for use in children under 12 months of age)

• Slice lemon into quarters and put into a jar.
• Grate ginger to taste and add to the lemon.
• Fill the jar with honey and stir.

Add one tablespoon (or more) to hot water and stir.  Enjoy this tasty treat that will help relieve your aches and pains.  Breathing a little easier and aiding in digestion are other benefits to this home made remedy.  The jar with a lid can stay up to a month in the refrigerator.
