Tis the season.  Cold and flu season….  that is.   Many of you may know that I’m a big fan of natural and alternative health remedies, techniques, etc.  I rarely get full blown sick personally but this is what I do if I start to feel a little unwell or under the weather.  Just got over “under the weather” following my recent vacation and thought I would share with you my “Top Secret” formula.

Boil a 1/2 a lemon (with rind) in a cup and a half of water until the pulp starts to come out.  Add a pinch of cayenne pepper.  Drink it down right before bed and cover yourself with blankets.  You will sweat like crazy and likely feel a little better in the morning.

Extras:  Add a little stevia, honey, (Not on the HCG Diet) booze (Not on P2), or lobelia tincture.

Disclaimer:  See your Dr. if you are THAT sick.

Other favorite cold and flu remedies of mine are to take  baking soda with vitamin C in orange juice or lemonade right when you first start to get sick

Drink 2-4 cups Echinacea tea daily right when you first start to feel the cold or flu coming on.
