We swear by this cold and sore throat elixir at our house. If I feel a sore throat or cold coming, I drink several (4 or 5) cups of this tea during the day, and 9 times out of 10, the cold stops that day!

green tea and pepjpermint tea (one bag of each),
generous amount of lemon juice (1 – 2 T.)
honey to sweeten (1 – 2 t.)

It is sooooo soothing. My husband calls it “magic tea.” You can use decaf green tea if you don’t want the small amount of caffein in the green tea.

Another spice I use as home remedy is cinnamon. I use it to help digestion, to cure nausea, diarrhea and to cold and flu.

Thank you for sharing these tips — it’s a nice a reminder that we can turn to our our kitchen before running to the pharmacy.

Garlic works great for wart removal! We duct tape a fresh clove to the affected area and wait for it to fall off! Gross, but totally worked to get my stubborn planter’s warts off my toes!

What a great article! We also use tons of fresh greens (spinach, kale, etc.) added to soups at the last minute and also eaten raw (enjoyed in salads or green smoothies.) I think that helps to keep us healthy.

I had mastitis a few months back with redness and fever. I cut up raw garlic & ginger, put it on a spoon and swallowed it with milk. The next morning the fever was gone and I was fully better within 2 days. No antibiotics needed. I repeated the garlic & ginger spoonful a few times while I was getting better. Raw garlic can be hard to swallow, but it has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties that are amazing. I find it easier to swallow with milk or OJ. I have heard from my nutritionist that cooking garlic reduces it’s potency so I like to eat it raw! I do this same process with colds or any illness now.
