I make sure I have plenty of winter allies on hand as the cold and flu season blossoms into coughs, runny noses, fevers, and viral infections.
I give myself the benefit of simple, safe green blessings that prevent -- and deal with -- viral (and bacterial) infections. Remedies made from the abundance around me, not bought at a drugstore. This is people's medicine. Mama Medicine. You can easily make you own winter remedies. Here's how.
🧄 Eat More Garlic
One of the best immune-system helpers is garlic. Dr. James Duke says it contains at least 17 different factors that nourish and support powerful immune system functioning. Herbalists in the middle ages relied on it to prevent infection from the plague, so it might keep us safe from the flu. Garlic is anti-bacterial, too. If you don't like fresh raw garlic, powdered garlic is just as good. The dose is 1 or more cloves of raw garlic per day, or up to a teaspoon of garlic powder.
To get the most medicine (allicin) from your garlic, mince it and let it oxidize for a few minutes.
Here are a few of my favorite ways to eat raw garlic:
Top scrambled eggs with minced raw garlic.
Put chopped raw garlic on pasta and cover with tomato sauce.
Try minced raw garlic on a piece of hot buttered toast. Delicious!
Add minced raw garlic to your baked potato.
Mix chopped raw garlic and olive oil with hot cooked greens like kale or spinach.
