Today I will talk about a flu remedy because my wife has come down with a flu bug yesterday. My wife had all the standard flu symptoms and I went to what has become my family’s stand by medication to help my wife recover. As this is a natural organic whole foods remedy I thought I would share it here and see if it might benefit you as well.
Now I know that some people that share the Natural Organic Whole Foods lifestyle would prefer to not use this remedy as it includes alcohol, and I suppose you could try this without the booze. I do believe that the alcohol actually helps accomplish the remedies objective. I don’t know how, I do know from experience, I’ve slept better and had my flu fever go away much faster after taking this terrible tasting flu remedy. On the bright side, I find that the taste of this remedy actually is very much the same as the lemon and honey version of the over the counter Thermaflu product sold in most drug stores.
My brother and his family spent some time in Tennessee and they learned this flu remedy while they were there. This is why I have come to call this flu remedy, the Tennessee Flu Tonic. For those of us in the Natural Organic Whole Foods lifestyle, we know that organic lemons and raw honey are best for us, but if you need this remedy and don’t have the natural organic whole foods ingredients, substitute whatever lemon and honey you can find, it will still be a better remedy than going and buying Thermaflu at the store.
Here is the recipe and directions.
Ingredients:
A shot of Vodka
Half an organic lemon
Raw Honey to taste
and
Hot pure water filled to the brim of the cup.
Directions:
Add the alcohol, (The Tennessee Backwoods Redneck version said moonshine, white lightning is best) (If you can get it “Everclear” is also very effective, so my brother tells me.) Squeeze the half a lemon into the cup, add as much honey as you will need to help with the taste, a few tablespoons works for me. Next you heat up some water and once it is boiling hot I fill the mug up with the hot water. Then I start sipping the tonic just as soon as it is cool enough for me to do so. Once you drink the whole cup, go lay down and go to sleep. I usually sweat a lot at first and then go to sleep. You will wake up feeling much better.
Let me know what you think of this remedy by posting your comments below. I would also love to hear what flu remedies you have found to be effective.
To your Health,
