My great grandma's cook book is full of home remedies. I've been doing some research and have found that there's more truth than Wives' Tale to the good old home remedies! These are tried and true by my family, and they work every time!
Ingredients
- lemon - a natural anti-histamine shopping list
- honey - has anti-bacterial properties shopping list
- * shopping list
- garlic - antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and of course, good for your heart!! shopping list
How to make it
- For Sore Throat and Cold:
- Add 1 tsp honey to1 tsp lemon.
- Mix well and take a couple teaspoons to sooth a sore throat. Also helps to calm a dry hacky cough.
- (I usually mix 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup lemon and store it in the fridge when my family is complaining of sore thoats.)
- Also, add one Tbs of mixture to 1 cup hot water. Helps sooth sore thoat and releive sinus congestion. My kids call this "Hot Lemonaid".
- ~@~
- Crush 2 cloves of garlic into 2 cups water. Bring to a brisk boil. Remove from heat, sit with a towel over your head and the pan and breath in the steam. Believe me! Every inch of your congested lungs will be loosened and your body will be able to cough it out much easier. Use the lemon and honey to sooth your throat!
