So I'm sick.... GREAT!!! My nose is all stuffed ....... I'm not a big fan of taking medication over the counter so I'm trying Natural Remedies. Here is one for everyone who is stuffed and has mucous.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Directions:
- Pour 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar in a pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in 3 tbsp of raw organic honey and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and powdered ginger.
- Store in a jar in a cool, dark, place.
Adults should take 1 to 2 tbsp daily as needed. Shake well before using, as the powder doesn't dissolve. Might also taste better if you warm the mixture before taking it.
Cayenne Pepper, Honey, Ginger
Help loosen mucous from the lungs, making it easier to rid yourself of it and therefore relieving pressure and making you more comfortable. Cayenne pepper also helps with swelling and inflammation that is narrowing nasal passages.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Helps thin out mucous being secreted, making it easier to drain the congestion.
Lemon
Also helps with congestion, although the exact scientific reason isn't known and makes the whole thing go down a little easier.
