anti-cold
auntie k8tey's tried and true cold therapies
tis the season. I am particularly intolerant of sore throat pain, so these recipes are largely devised to eradicate that, although this regimen tends to stop my colds dead in their tracks.
veggie burn
1 cup V8 juice (or comparable tomato-based veggie juice)
2-4 cloves of garlic, pressed or minced
as much cayenne pepper as you can stand
heat it up and sip slowly out of a mug
honey syrup
1.5 tbsp raw organic honey
1 tsp propolis
1 tbsp lemon juice
as much cayenne pepper as you can stand.
1/2 tsp dried grated ginger
mix honey and propolis until uniform consistency. mix in other ingredients and drink slowly by the spoonful. Take 2-3 times a day.
The trader joes/knudsen lemon-ginger-echinachea juice is excellent served hot. I am also a big fan of "sootherbs" brand zinc/echinachea/vitamin C lozenges. Recommended teas are Celestial Seaasonings "echinachea cold care" and Traditional Medicinals "Throat Coat"
And lots of emergen-c mixed with distilled water.
Get better soon, all of you!
