The changing of seasons

The seasons are changing, and with it more people are getting sick –  having some zinc lozenges or some Echinacea tablets are essentials to have at home – start taking these at first signs of sickness. And don’t forget those oh so good kitchen cupboard remedies…

For colds, flus, coughs & sinus - my advice is to start taking some preventative measures now - 1000mg of vitamin C & here is a recipe that costs little and works wonders… 

Flu Brew: 

A thumb size piece of ginger (chopped)

A pinch of chilli

A whole lemon (squeezed)

2 cloves of garlic (chopped) 

2 big glasses of water. 

Place all into a saucepan and boil up for 5 minutes, simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on, place through a sieve draining the liquid off that you are going to drink. Then add a generous spoonful of honey and drink. 

Wrap yourself up warm and go to bed, the brew will increase sweating and boost the immune system – supporting your body to fight the illness. 

And of course, call us, if you need some additional assistance.
