Cold and Flu Relief

The most beneficial cold and flu relief remedy for my family is ginger tea. Not the tea bag version the real stuff. I will admit that everyone hates the taste but will still ask for it because they know it works. It works by stimulating your body into healing it's self.

2 inch piece of fresh ginger root
1 teapot of boiling water

Finley chop the ginger with a ginger grater or with a sharp knife. Put the ginger into a tea ball, small strainer that fits into your teapot, or wrap it in cheese cloth. Put the ginger into your teapot and then fill with boiling water. Cover the teapot and let steep for at least 20 minutes before drinking.

One or two cups of this tea usually does the trick. I then refrigerate the remaining tea to use later as a hair rinse. The combination of the cold and ginger will stimulate growth and leave your hair silky.

Be Well
