Healing Tonics That Can Help Shorten The Duration Of Sickness
For hundreds of years, home remedies for various health problems have been used. For those out there who are feeling weak and achy and want to lie down on their beds the whole day, there are healing tonics that can help us get back on track by shortening the duration of our sickness and easing those nasty symptoms associated with viral and bacterial infections.
Here are some of the easy to make healing tonics that we can incorporate into our daily routine.
Golden Milk
This healthy beverage requires us to simmer 1 cup regular or almond milk, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp raw honey (or to taste), a pinch of ginger powder, and a pinch of cinnamon for 5 minutes. Strain and enjoy – preferably while not wearing white clothes!
Echinacea And Elderberry
Hot Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider together with grated ginger and lemon juice is effective against sore throat and can help reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the body.
For this healing tonic, we simply need to warm the apple cider on low heat in a small saucepan and add the grated ginger. Simmer gently for five minutes. Strain the mix into a mug and add lemon juice.
Ginger, Thyme, Peppermint, Cinnamon, And Ginger
Ginger tea has an anti-emetic effect which helps prevent vomiting, soothe the stomach and detox the body. It can also prevent chills due to its chromium content. Aside from this, applying ginger oil to the temples can help relieve headaches. To boost our immune system and manage symptoms of illness, simply enjoy a cup of warm ginger tea with honey.
Hibiscus And Rose Hip — Two Teas Packed With Vitamin C
Rosehip tea is another that contains antioxidants such as vitamin A and C. Consumption of this beverage can help our body fight infection.
Green Tea And Cacao
Cacao is rich in essential minerals that help our body absorb the vitamins present in other herbal beverages. Its powdered form can make delicious and nutritious energy and mood-boosting tonic. On the other hand, green tea contains EGCG, a powerful antioxidant that can combat free radicals and protect our cells against oxidative stress.
