The Flu Fighter

The Flu.  I thought I escaped it's nasty grip this year.  But alas, yesterday it hit me.  Out of no where, crept in and knocked me off my feet.  No matter how many times I verbally affirmed my health and wellness, "I am strong.  I am healthy. I am not going to get sick."-over and over again, I found myself bed ridden with a fever, aches, and chills, the whole 9 yards-the mac daddy of flu symptoms..
Being the homeopathic proactive person I am, in the middle of the night when I could muster up enough strength to get out of my bed, I chopped up a clove of raw garlic and threw it in a cup of Gypsy Cold Care Herbal Tea.  I also stuck a clove of straight-up raw garlic in my mouth and intermittently chewed down on it to release it's medicinal benefits.  Crazy? Yes.  Spicy? Definitely.  Pungent? Most certainly.  But it works.
I'm not 100% today, but I do think that the garlic works wonders.  Every time.  I believe in it.  And so that is why I'm sharing this flu fighter with you.

My medicine cabinet:

green onion

 garlic

 ginger

 white miso paste

 Broth of Wellness:
3 c water
2 Tbs White Miso Paste
2 stalks of green onion
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 stem of raw ginger

It's definitely spicy and you will inevitably sweat.  But it's a power house of natural anti-septic for your body.  And it doesn't leave you all cracked out feeling like Nyquil or some of that other junk does.
Hope this helps you in the future if the flu decided to pay your body a little visit.
