Get well soon with "THE CONCOCTION"

SNIFFLES AND SNEEZES

COUGHING AND WHEEZES

these are a few of my least favorite things.

As winter looms large on the horizon, so do winter colds. 

In an effort to battle these nasty  afflictions, I offer you this handy-dandy, cures-what-ails-ya, guaranteed 100% snake-oil-free recipe.  It has been passed down from generation to generation.  Time tested and Grandmother approved.  Come one come all, step right up and get your copy of this one-of-a-kind tincture.

 
Growing up it was always just referred to as "THE CONCOCTION"  (insert lightning flash and ominous dun-dun-dun sound)

For years I was convinced that the reason you got better from using it was that after the first dose your body knew that if it didn't get better more doses would follow so it would forcibly evict the germs by any means necessary rather than taste that mess again.

It may taste like the north bound end of a south bound horse .. but this stuff works.  Taking it twice a day when needed, I rarely have to take it for more than two days in a row.

It turns out that the ingredients actually have medicinal properties.

Anti-infection
According to the website DoctorYourself, apple cider vinegar has special infection-fighting properties and may support a healthy immune system. The oleoresins of ginger show up as ingredients in many cold and flu remedies, states the Mayo Clinic. Despite the lack of clinical evidence to support the use of ginger, the ginger root has a long tradition as a remedy for systemic and local infections, according to "The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants." According to the book "The Honey  Prescription," by Nathaniel Altman, honey's enzymes make hydrogen peroxide, which may fight infections both internally and externally.

Step 1: The recipe

1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Honey
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
a splash of warm water

combine ingredients in a glass and swirl it around really good and chug it down.

The ginger powder will dissolve in the liquids but the cinnamon powder won't so you want to make sure that you get a good swirl going so that you get everything out of the glass.

I tried a combination that was similar one winter. I was already taking cinnamon capsules and crystallized ginger, so basically made a tea with cider vinegar, and honey melted in some warm water, even cheated with some actual cider (non-alcoholic). I am usually pretty good with not getting sick beyond sniffles, so not sure if it helped or just a good year.

I can agree that this does taste nasty, but Lorddrake has been pouring this down my throat for years when I was sick. It works wonderfully. When you have a chest cold, makes it easier to breath, and breaks everything up better than Mucinex.
