Sore throat, Colds, Flu and Sinusitis

TURMERIC MILK DRINK
Take about a teaspoonful of turmeric powder, a teaspoon full of grated fresh ginger (or equivalent of dried ginger powder), and a pinch of ground black pepper, honey or sugar to taste, and put it into about half a cup of water and bring to a boil. Then add about half a cup of milk, heat to just below boiling point, and drink the mixture slowly, while hot.

CLOVES
Indians believe a clove a day keeps a sore throat away. As well as stimulating the taste buds with its spicy pungency, clove’s antiseptic action soothes sore throats and coughs. For this try a pinch of clove with 1 tsp of honey three times a day or inhale the steam of 7 cloves in 5 cups boiled water.

SOME MORE REMEDIES……
Boil mint leaves with powder of 3 or 4 pepper corns and a small pinch of salt is added and take 2 or 3 x a day.
Heat turmeric powder. Mix with a ½ tsp of honey and lick little by little.
To ½ tsp ginger powder add powder of 4 or 5 pepper corns and mix in 1 tsp honey and take twice daily
With coughs and colds making its rounds in all our homes at this time of the year….just sharing a delicious concoction that sorted my family out quickly this past week….hope it helps you too 😉
