Common cold and flu - prevetion - strengthening the immune system
How can we strengthen it to prevent future disasters? Apart from obvious reasons such as poor nutrition, there is an excellent and very simple home remedy, which has been used successfully for centuries for strengthening the immune system
Recipe:
30 cloves of garlic (peeled)
5 whole lemons or limes (cut into big chunks with rind)
1 small piece of fresh ginger
Cover with 1 lt of water and bring to the boil. As soon as it bubbles, turn off the heat and let it cool down without removing the lid. Strain through a sieve into a bottle and keep in the fridge
Dose: One big mouthful before each meal.
You can start taking this remedy right at winter start and throughout the cold time.
This simple remedy is the best you can do to protect your body against illness. Garlic is a supreme natural antibiotic and cleans up your entire lymphatic and respiratory system. Lemon provides you with an abundance of Vitamin C and other valuable nutrients. (It also counteracts `garlic smell')
Ginger, being a warming herb, stimulates your circulation and thus carries more oxygen to the various parts of the body. This brew also has the additional benefit of cleansing your bloodstream, rectifying the blood pressure and being a great digestive at the same time.
As the old saying goes: Prevention is better than cure!
One can enjoy a wood fire worthily only when he warms his thoughts by it as well as his hands and feet.
