Brenda Whenever I or a patient are in need of healing from a cold or flu, this is my go to. I will often give other remedies, such as oregano oil, to combat the virus, but for general healing and comfort, nothing beats this. I call it Mother’s Hug because that is what it feels like and because I first made it for my daughter when she was struggling with a bad fever. The pinch of cayenne does the trick every time and often needs only one dose to break a fever. Drink this at least three times a day for relief and to bring back full health.
- 1 fresh lemon squeezed into a mug
- 1 small cinnamon stick (or 1/2 large stick)
- 4-6 whole cloves
- 1 pinch of cayenne (if fever is present)
- 1 slice of fresh ginger (if available)
- 1 large spoon of local, unpasteurized honey
Directions:
- Pour hot water over all, cover with a lid or small plate, and steep for 10-15 minutes.
- While infusing, the preparer should send healing intentions and love into the drink for maximum benefit.
- Uncover and drink all while still hot (being careful not to burn yourself!).
