Nature's flu shot

As the flu epidemic spreads in the US and worldwide, I bring you my favorite DIY natural flu shot. This remedy comes from an ancient recipe created by grandmother many years ago.

This DIY is armed with: cayenne pepper, Manuka Honey, turmeric, garlic and organic ginger root, organic orange and lemon juices.

Cayenne will warm your body, help you sweat and eliminate toxins. Manuka Honey and garlic are natural antibiotics. Turmeric and ginger have strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Blend:
4 organic garlic cloves crushed
2 tbsps Manuka Honey
1/2 tsp organic turmeric
2 tbsps grated organic ginger
1/2 tsp organic cayenne pepper
3 cups organic orange juice
1/3 cup organic lemon juice
How to take it:
Drink 1 cup 3 to 4 times daily to fight off flu and cold or when feeling under the weather. Take until symptoms are gone.

NOTE: You can keep up to 2 days refrigerated (without the garlic). I suggest you add the fresh garlic as you go. Please use a BPA-free container.

For the health benefits of Manuka Honey.
