I am really under the weather with the flu, but am using some healthy ingredients to keep myself warm and hoping for a speedy recovery. This post is about how I am curing my flu without using any medicine.
I started with a cup of ginger tea, as I call it.
1 Hot cup of water1 tea bag
1 tsp. of honey
½ a tsp. ginger (can be fresh ginger root)
Squeeze one fresh lemon.
Mix all the ingredients and enjoy.
This drink keeps me hydrated,opens up my airway and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling as it goes down my throat.
The next thing I have been doing is making chicken soup from a famous program on the food channel called Down Home with the Neely’s. I am not a good cook, but this recipe makes me feel proud.
Another favorite is the Mastex Thermal Facial Sauna; you add a little water and switch it on. It works great for my clogged up nasal passage, it gives a good facial that unclogs the pores and only costs about 22dollars on amazon.
It’s now Wednesday evening and still not feeling any better, am hoping tomorrow I’ll wake up feeling like a champ. If not, MucinexD here I come.
Great tips! Seems like I always try to prevent myself from coming down with the common cold/flu virus, but by the time I'm out of denial and doing something about it---I'm full-blown S-I-C-K! I've never tried Ginger tea, but now I'd like to. I've been a big fan of echnisea tea in the past, with honey of course.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you have the flu!! I usually go for the MucinexD, Emergen-C and I use my Netti Pot religiously. Thanks for the recipe, I'm all about opening the airways! Get well soon.
