This is a recipe for a simple, economic, tasty way to combat nearly any type of illness in the initial stages. It is far more effective than a flu shot or most common over-the-counter medications. While pharmaceutical medications may reduce some symptoms, they generally do not assist and support the body towards wellness. Each ingredient in this Immune Boost has properties that support the body’s ability to mount a response to offending pathogens.
local raw organic honey (not for babies under 12 months), preferably produced by bees who do not have access to pesticide laden fields!- coconut oil (raw, organic)
- powdered vitamin C either sodium ascorbate or ascorbate acid
- cayenne pepper
- turmeric powder
- cinnamon
- ginger powder
Mix equal parts of honey and coconut oil in a jar. You can either mix a Tablespoon of each, or 1/4 cup, or more. You might want to start with a smaller amount to try it!
Add all the other powdered ingredients in as large a quantity as you think you (or your child) will be able to tolerate. You can always start small, and add more. Usually you can put quite a large amount of vitamin C (remember you will only be giving a small amount of this mixture at a time) without it being too noticeable. Start with just a sprinkle of the spices. The honey and coconut oil are a great aid to masking the flavors of the vitamin C and spices.
Give a 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Give frequently until symptoms disappear!
What is it good for? Allergies, sore throat, cold sores (at the first sign), upset tummy, cold or flu, headaches, etc. Try to allow the mixture to sit in your mouth, under your tongue for as long as possible so it can be absorbed quickly sublingually.
Try it – you may be astounded!
Why? All of these spices have amazing properties of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and provide immune stimulation/activation. It really works. And it tastes great – even for children. Elderberry syrup is another great immune booster to have on hand, but can be a little more work to prepare from the dried berries, or expensive to purchase.
CBD Oil is another natural supplement that provides excellent immune boosting benefits. Make sure your CBD Oil is organic, tested for purity and potency, and safely extracted. I have found a great product and am happy to answer any questions you may have about it. You can learn more and order CBD at http://healingplant.org.
