ALTERNATIVE HEALTH, HEALTHY DRINKS, NATURAL REMEDIES, RECIPIES

It’s that time of the year when it gets colder and colder every day and a lot of people end up with a nasty cold or cough, which can really make our lives really difficult sometimes. A lot of people think that the best choice is to go to the closest local pharmacy and buy some syrups and medications, but in this post I share 3 home remedies that you can use to fight the phlegm, subdue the sinuses and conquer the colds, and avoid the harmful side effects of medications.

The Hot Pineapple Elixir
Ingredients
▪ ½ – 1 cup pineapple juice (preferably fresh)
▪ ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
▪ 1 pinch cayenne pepper
▪ 1 tsp raw honey

Instructions:
Put all the ingredients in a saucer and heat lightly to preference.            Why it helps:▪ The pineapple is loaded with anti-inflammatory compounds. So, these anti-inflammatory properties can reduce the phlegm buildup in your lungs and soothe a sore throat. Also, its vitamin C content strengthens, boosts your immune system, and it can prevent cold symptoms.
▪ The apple cider vinegar in this drink will help you alkalize your body. You may know, but when your body is in alkaline state, viral bacteria can’t survive in it!
▪ The sweet and healthy honey has many healthy properties: antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial powers. This makes honey a super natural healer for centuries.
▪ The cayenne pepper will provide the kick that warms your body up internally and fights against fevers and nausea.

The Raw Deal Tea
Ingredients:
▪ 1 tsp lemon juice
▪ ½ tsp finely grated ginger
▪ ¼ tsp ground turmeric
▪ ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
▪ ½ tsp raw honey
▪ 1 pinch cinnamon
▪ For extra cold-fighting powers, add in 1 drop of colloidal silver.
Instructions:
First, put 1 cup of water in a bowl and let it boil. When it starts to boil, you need to add in all ingredients and stir well. Simmer for 3 minutes and your drink is ready. Enjoy.
Why it helps:
▪ Cinnamon has many healthy benefits, just like honey. It has antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties. These healthy properties help destroy viral bacteria and boost your immune system.
▪ The colloidal silver is highly antibacterial and antiviral ingredient. It has shown to prevent viral infections from getting worse.

The Wellness Monster
Ingredients:
▪ 1 lemon
▪ 1-inch piece of ginger
▪ 1-2 dashes of cayenne pepper
▪ 1 dash of turmeric powder
▪ 1 drop of mint extract
▪ 1-2 drops stevia (if desired)
Instructions:
First, you need to juice and blend the lemon and ginger. Then, you need to add the cayenne pepper, turmeric and mint. Stir. Add enough hot water to double the size of the mixture. Enjoy this delicious healthy drink.
Why it helps:
▪ The super healthy lemon is a great detoxifier. It will boost your immune system and it also fuels cold-fighting stores of Vitamin C
▪ Another super healthy ingredient in this drink is ginger. Ginger will clear the mucus out of the lungs, and it will soothe your sore throat and sinus-related aches.
▪ Turmeric is loaded with curcumin, which has serious antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It will break up congestion and deter coughs.
▪ Mint’s menthol component is a natural decongestant. It will help you throw out the phlegm from the lungs and help you with nasal congestion.

How safe is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is an all-natural, drug-free therapy, yielding no side effects just feelings of relaxation and well-being. There is little danger of infection from acupuncture needles because they are sterile, used once, and then discarded.
