RECIPE 6.

Glycerine Lemon Cough Syrup

• 2 tbsp glycerine

Heat the lemon by boiling it in water for 10 minutes. Cut in half and squeeze out the juice. Add the glycerine and honey. Take 1 tsp as needed.

COLDS/FLU.
LEMON CAYYENNE THROAT SOOTHER
Mix 1 tsp honey with 1 tsp lemon juice and dash of cayenne pepper. Take like cough syrup. This does not prevent cough, but does relieve throat pain in two ways. First, the honey and lemon coat the throat.
Second, the cayenne pepper brings blood cells needed to fight off infection to the throat area.

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!

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR TEA
Very good for coughs with a lot of phlegm.
Per Serving:
• 5 teaspoons honey
• 5 teaspoons of cider vinegar
• 1 cup boiled water, cooled
Mix honey and vinegar into water and mix well. Let cool before drinking. If you can stand the strong taste, you can omit the water. Mix honey and vinegar together and take a teaspoon at a time.

SORE THROAT, COLDS FLU AND SINUSITIS.
Take about a teaspoonful of turmeric powder, a teaspoon full of grated fresh ginger (or equivalent of dried ginger powder), and a pinch of ground black pepper, honey or sugar to taste, and put it into about half a cup of water and bring to a boil. Then add about half a cup of milk, heat to just below boiling point, and drink the mixture slowly, while hot.

CLOVES.
Indians believe a clove a day keeps a sore throat away. As well as stimulating the taste buds with its spicy pungency, clove’s antiseptic action soothes sore throats and coughs. For this try a pinch of clove with 1 tsp of honey three times a day or inhale the steam of 7 cloves in 5 cups boiled water.

• Boil mint leaves in which powder of 3 or 4 pepper corns and a small pinch of salt is added and take 2 or 3 x a day.

• Heat turmeric powder. Mix with a ½ tsp of honey and lick little by little.

• To ½ tsp ginger powder add powder of 4  or 5 pepper corns and mix in1 tsp honey and take twice daily.

• A tea made of 1tsp aniseed – saumf is another excellent cough remedy to loosen out phlegm.

• An emulsion of almonds is useful in bronchial diseases, including bronchitis. It is prepared by making a powder of 7 kernels of almonds and mixing the powdered kernels in a cup of orange juice. This emulsion may be taken once daily at night.
