Never Walk Into A Pharmacy Again: A Health Bomb Recipe That’s 100% Natural!

I recently made this all-natural cold and flu remedy to prepare for when the germs start spreading. I keep it in the fridge and the first sign of a cold or flu, I just scoop out a few tablespoons, add hot water and enjoy this delicious and soothing tea.

Here is the breakdown of the ingredients:

• Lemons: They are naturally high in vitamin C. There is some controversy about the effect of vitamin C and the immune system, but increasing your intake during a cold isn't harmful. MayoClinic.com reports that taking vitamin C before the onset of cold symptoms may reduce the duration of a cold. According to "The World's Healthiest Foods," by George Mateljan, 1/4 cup of lemon juice contains 46.8 percent of your daily value of vitamin C. Lemons may also be used to ease sore throat pain, a common cold symptom.

• Ginger: Helps you sweat out the toxins in your body, which is helpful when you have a cold or flu. Ginger is also helpful for settling upset stomachs, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and cold sweats.

• Honey: Soothes a sore throat, making it an effective and natural cough suppressant. This improves the body's ability to fight infection and decreases the risk of fevers. The natural sweetness of honey also balances the tartness of the lemon and the ginger's spice, giving honey, lemon and ginger tea its soothing flavor.

• Cayenne Pepper: A common symptom of a cold is fever. Cayenne pepper may relieve fever and lower your body temperature by stimulating sweat glands. A key ingredient in the cayenne pepper is capsaicin. As the active component of cayenne pepper, capsaicin stimulates the cooling portion of the brain known as the hypothalamus, according to "The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods," by Michael Murray, N.D. The spice also stimulates the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses, states Murray. Congestion may decrease because mucous thins and liquefies when you consume cayenne pepper.
