I haven't been posting because I've been sick and tired with the flu. But I've earned something I want to pass on.
Apart from wicked tiredness, headaches and muscle aches, what bothered me most was an extremely sore throat and a severe cough.
Cough drops, cough syrups, aspergum - nothing seemed to work until I googled and found that raw garlic fights viruses.
Yucky as that sounds, raw garlic chopped very fine actually made me feel better, a lot better. Especially when followed by a honey chaser, another natural antibiotic, which was the most soothing thing I could do. That and iced water.
Honey and garlic. Garlic and Honey. You have both in your pantry or should. You don't need the other stuff.
So why keep lots of OTC medications in your medicine cabinet that millions of youth use to get high?
About 3.1 million people between the ages of 12 to 25 use cough and cold syrup say officials who liken the level of abuse to use of LSD, methamphetamine or ecstasy.
Sorry you've been feeling so awful. I'm glad to hear you found an easy and good remedy! There are a number of excellent natural remedies out there that don't get much attention. I have a few myself that I use. Hope you're back to normal very quickly.
