Remedy 1. Make a heavy (spicy) ginger tea with cinnamon stick, squeeze lime (whole), add mint or Hall mint and sweet it up with raw honey.
***Repeat every single day, twice per day until feel better
Remedy 2. Cut a pineapple (put it on a jar or closed container), add raw honey or raw dark sugar with lime or lemon juice and mint leaves.
***Ferment for at least 5 to 8 hours. Take one spoon of the remedy every day, twice or three times per day.
Alternative to Remedy 2. Do the same thing, but this time add half an onion and again wait for fermentation. Use the same step to take remedy. ****it taste disgusting, but it is worthy.
Remember this; teraflu night and Vicks mentol are your best friends at night.
Teraflu help you sleep while Vicks helps you breathe better. Put vicks on your chest, nostrils and forehead. Have plenty of sleep and long showers, it helps.
Side note: All the ingredients have common properties; Vit C, antioxidants, and immune booster.
I'd like to add: If you are able, sleeping on your stomach helps with any fluid in your lungs. Any fluid will pool into the smallest part of your lungs leaving the majority of the lung capacity for air. I learned that from a pulmonologist who did that for his COVID patients and he kept them off ventilators.
Omg yes! Hospitals are putting patients on their stomachs because of that same reason.
Been doing 5g Vit C and 2g of Vit D daily daily over 2 years now. Been around Rona and never caught crap. Check out Dr Linus Pauling and Dr. Andrew Saul and learn how to bulletproof your immune system, next level stuff.
Was informed that the mint family (eg menthol, etc) is good, we used big pile of ginger in crock pot cooked with 2-3 cinnamon sticks and sweetened with dates... my holy Buddhist nun friends tell me to cook up big crock pot of Tom Yum soup herbs , just let it simmer in the room (w/ out chili)... will keep lungs clear, air pure....
I never got tested, but when I "feel" some symptoms - I have raw garlic crushed with turmeric powder. It clears everything and fills me with strength.
And of course, Vicks is a great friend to have close by.
Thanks.
It's amazing how universal these home remedies are. My families have used all the ones you've mentioned except the pineapple one. That's a new one for me. I'll have to try it out next time someone here gets sick.
The onion one works the best for me, personally.
Using Vicks vapo rub in the shower works well for congestion. Usually we just plop a big glob of it (generic version because it's too expensive to use so much of the name brand) in the bottom of the shower, and take a long hot shower. I vaguely remember seeing a commercial for a new product that does this same thing, but don't remember if it was Vicks or not.
Using Tea tree oil or mint shampoos and soaps can help with clearing head congestion, too.
If your a guy hold the mint as it is full of estrogen
