Cough and Cold Herbal Remedies

Cough and Cold Remedies Try some of these recipes for homemade cough and cold remedies:

Ginger Tea 1 inch or so fresh ginger root, sliced thin or grated 1/2 a fresh lemon, sliced (peel & all) 1 clove garlic, mashed ~2 c water Very generous spoonful honey Place water, ginger, lemon, & garlic in saucepan; bring to boil, then turn down heat and simmer gently for 20 min. Strain into mugs and add lots of honey. The tea *will* get stronger if you let it sit! Most invigorating! The garlic adds a bit of bitterness, but the honey masks that. This tea is very soothing to the throat and warms and opens the chest and nasal passages. Plus there are all those vitamins and other good things! I now make this tea at the first sign of a cold, which helps me fight it off. I find it more effective than the commercial hot lemon remedies, and of course cheaper
