Flu season natural remedies

It's flu and cold season, so I figured I would send out my favorite natural remedies to prevent, fight and keep off a nasty cold. I hope this may be useful to you!

Citrus booster:

1 navel orange juiced plus the pulp

½ a lemon

½ grapefruit

1 heaping tsp grated ginger

1 ½ tsp turmeric powder

Juice the orange and half of a grapefruit and save the pulp removing the seeds. Juice half of a lemon. Grate a piece of ginger or use ginger powder. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high for a few seconds. Serve and drink right away.

Spicy broth:

3 or 4 cups water

1 tbsp yellow miso paste

½ tbsp veggie broth

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 green onion

½ tsp turmeric powder

1 handful of parsley

Bring water to a boil, add green onions and let simmer. Turn off the heat and add miso paste and broth. Top with turmeric and cayenne powders. Add a handful of chopped parsley

Revitalizing bath:

3 drops of lavender essential oil

2 drops of eucalyptus essential oil

Epson salts

Steamy hot water

Tea tree oil vapors:

3 drops of tea tree oil

Steamy hot water

Towel to cover the face

Supplements:

Take zinc, potassium and vitamin c supplements.

I like to eat a spoonful of propolis, elderberry syrup and take 4-6 Wellness Formulas on the days I'm sick.
