It’s said that prevention is better than cure, but when prevention fails, treatment prevails. It’s easy to rush into buying a ton of meds in the hopes of a quick recovery, but from my experience we should allow our bodies time to recuperate as naturally as possible. This leads to the growth of a healthier and stronger immune system. Here are some tips to get you from illness to wellness.

Sinus infections can lead to terrible headaches, and the infection can eventually move down into the throat or chest. Why not try a nasal irrigator to help clear up nasal congestion? Mix nasal salts in sterile water as per instruction and pour into one side of your nose, letting it drip out of the other side.

Colds or the flu got you feeling blue? A strong cup of ginger tea is sure to bring to you some glee. Here’s my recipe. Brew on a medium to low heat for about 15-20 minutes.

1.5 lts of drinking water (you can top it up as it boils down)
4 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon of turmeric
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
3 freshly squeezed lemons
Organic raw, unfiltered honey. Sweeten to your preference. Wait for your tea to cool down before adding the honey; you don’t want the heat to kill the raw enzymes.
