Protecting Your Family From The Flu

Dedicated to Flu Prevention Tips, Flu Remedies & Education for your Family

One of the important things that we need to make sure that we talk about is that sometimes the flu happens, and preventing the flu should include helping us to recover as quickly as possible without passing the flu on to everyone else we come in contact with. The sooner we can recover the sooner we can help preven the flu from spreading and protect our family.

Here is a home made recipe for a flu remedy that we use. I have found that this flu remedy works better than most everything else that I have found, but would love to hear about what other flu remedy you have found that has worked for you.

This flu remedy does include alcohol, but so do most of the over the counter cold and flu medicines. If you would like a recipe for a flu remedy without alcohol, I suppose you could try this without the booze. I do believe that the alcohol actually helps accomplish the remedies objective. I don’t know how, I do know from experience, I’ve slept better and had my flu fever go away much faster after taking this terrible tasting flu remedy. On the bright side, I find that the taste of this remedy actually is very much the same as the lemon and honey version of the over the counter Thermaflu product sold in most drug stores.

My brother and his family spent some time in Tennessee and they learned this flu remedy while they were there. This is why I have come to call this flu remedy, the Tennessee Flu Tonic. For those of us in the Natural Organic Whole Foods lifestyle, we know that organic lemons and raw honey are best for us, but if you need this remedy and don’t have the natural organic whole foods ingredients, substitute whatever lemon and honey you can find, it will still be a better remedy than going and buying Thermaflu at the store.

Here is the recipe and directions.

Ingredients:
A shot of Vodka
Half an organic lemon
Raw Honey to taste
and
Hot pure water filled to the brim of the cup.

Directions:

Add the alcohol, (The Tennessee Backwoods Redneck version said moonshine, white lightning is best) (If you can get it “Everclear” is also very effective, so my brother tells me.) Squeeze the half a lemon into the cup, add as much honey as you will need to help with the taste, a few tablespoons works for me. Next you heat up some water and once it is boiling hot I fill the mug up with the hot water. Then I start sipping the tonic just as soon as it is cool enough for me to do so. Once you drink the whole cup, go lay down and go to sleep. I usually sweat a lot at first and then go to sleep. You will wake up feeling much better.

Let me know what you think of this remedy by posting your comments below. I would also love to hear what flu remedies you have found to be effective.

To your Health,
