Flu remedy: Honey garlic and apple cider.
Here’s a simple recipe for a flu remedy that combines the soothing properties of honey, the immune-boosting benefits of garlic, and the vitamin C content of apples in apple cider.
đź’ĄMix together equal parts raw honey, minced garlic, and unfiltered apple cider vinegar until well combined.
đź’ĄTake one tablespoon of this mixture every few hours as needed to help alleviate symptoms such as cough, sore throat, congestion, and fever associated with the flu.
Note that garlic can have a strong taste, so you may want to let the mixture sit for at least an hour before consuming.
Also, consult your healthcare provider if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medication that could interact negatively with these ingredients.
