Stuffy nose/sinuses, sore/tickly throat, cough? That's me right now -- I so rarely get sick, knock on wood, but just got hit with a summer cold. Love and recommend this tried-and-true concoction -- "Congestion Comfort" -- to help kick a cold and ease symptoms.Simply brew a soothing tea in hot water according to directions (try Throat Comfort or any of the cold variety by Yogi Tea) and add 2-3 tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar (like Braggs), the juice of one organic lemon, 1 tbsp manuka or local honey, 1 dose of echinacea tincture and 1 dose of elderberry tincture (according to dosage on a respective bottle, which can vary in amount). You can buy the tinctures or similar extracts at Whole Foods or your local health food or herbalist/apothecary store, or online.Give it an additional boost by adding slivers of fresh ginger or turmeric root, and/or other immune system-supportive tinctures/extracts. And before bedtime, consider adding a splash of whiskey.Be well!
