How often have you found out that "simple is best"? Well, here's another great example . . .
As cold, sinusitis & flu season descends upon us, I have found a truly amazing, blessedly simple sore throat remedy with ingredients that are probably already in your cupboard. Only 2 items: honey & tumeric.

Always buy local honey whenever possible. Honey is not only the preferred sweetener of many, but it is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial. (**Got a terrible cystic blemish? Before you go to bed put a drop of honey on it, cover with a band-aid & wake up in the morning with NO pimple!!!)
Tumeric is also antisecptic, anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial. Many take it for their liver, arthritis, as a paste or in a salve for healing wounds & even for up-set stomachs.
But for a sore throat there are 2 ways you can take it:
1) 1 ts honey completely covered with a thick dusting of tumeric. Swallow all at once.
2) 1 ts honey & 1/4 ts tumeric mixed into a sort of paste. Lick the spoon slowly so that it can coat the throat.
~Repeat as often as you need, day or night.
Which ever way you use this, it is a wonderfully powerful throat soother, healer & actually heals & builds immunities.

Thanks for all the information I loved the suggestions. I am going to try the honey ones for sure. Blessings to you for the great advice today.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice. Local honey is supposed to help with allergies as well. You'd think I would have purchased some by now for mine :) Also, honey is an excellent cough suppressant. I will have to try the tumeric, I'm not sure I have that in the pantry.
