Gargle with salt water
Do this as soon as you start feeling sick! Not only can it help relieve a sore, scratchy throat, but water follows salt (#osmosis) so the idea is that gargling salt water actually pulls viral fluids out from the throat area. 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt dissolved in an 8-ounce glass of warm water and gargle it all 1-2x a day.

Garlic
Garlic is a powerful antioxidant with antimicrobial, antiviral and antibiotic properties. Garlic is packed with minerals, enzymes, vitamin C, sulphur, and selenium which all help bust colds and flus. Enjoy garlic in your meals or eat a clove whole if you’re seriously brave. My kids know garlic helps them feel better, when they are feeling sink they ACTUALLY ASK for a clove of raw garlic to eat! Plug your nose!!
Epsom Salt Bath
Epsom Salt Bath
Epsom Salt Bath
Add epsom salt to a hot bath along with some essential oils if you’d like to have a relaxing, detoxifying evening. The minerals in the bath cause the toxins in your body to be released in the bath so not only is it relaxing, but it’s good for you too. Add at least 32oz to a full tub.
Ginger

Epsom Salt Bath
Ginger is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It has been known to help with congestion, nausea, colds, and fevers. Either pick one up from a local juice store or juice a knob of ginger yourself. Eating ginger can also help but for the best bang for your buck, go for the juice shot. Ginger tea is great during flu season - use daily for extra precaution!
Ginger Tea
- When preparing ginger tea, cut the ginger root into thin slices before adding boiling water. Thin slices expose more surface area to water and ensure a proportionate exposure of all nutrients.
- Prepare the ginger root as nature delivered, skin and all. After all, the whole root is healthy, even the shell.
- Add boiling water directly to ginger.Unlike the ideal preparation of black and green tea, boiling water can go straight to the ginger. Allow 5 minutes to steep and add lemon and / or honey to taste.
- We prefer organic ginger, when available. Ideally, avoid ginger with exposure to artificial chemicals and processes.
