Honey Lemon TeaThe best cure is prevention and by using natural ingredients you can quite often stem the occurrence of many common illnesses.

No one wants to get sick and every year, people dread feeling lousy from catching a cold or getting the flu. Even a few days of dealing with bad allergies can make a person feel like they just want to stay in bed. On top of that, typical cold, flu and allergy remedies are packed with ingredients and chemicals that no one knows what they are. Taking medicine that’s packed full of chemicals and unknowns can become just as stressful as getting ill. But did you know that there are organic ingredients out there that you can take to help you feel better? Today we’re going to talk about 3 organic ingredients to help you fight illness.

Organic honey & lemon in tea: If your throat is sore, a good remedy to start with is adding organic honey and lemon to organic tea. This combination is soothing and can help take the stinging out of a sore throat. In addition, if you’re congested, the steam and warmth from the tea can also help break up the congestion.

Organic garlic: Organic garlic has long been known for its immune system boosting properties. While taking garlic after you’ve already become ill will probably not help much, eating organic garlic regularly can help ward off viruses and keep your immune system healthy.

Ginger: Organic ginger is an antiviral naturally. It has long been used as an organic and all natural method to help keep viruses away. It also has antiseptic characteristics and contains antioxidants. You can put ginger in your organic tea, in organic smoothies or even in your favourite organic dishes.

Organic cold, flu and allergy remedies are an alternative to taking medications with foreign sounding ingredients.

However, it’s also important to keep in mind that if you are ill, the doctor’s advice is best and organic remedies shouldn’t be used in place of professional medical advice.
