The Cure All Elixir

It's that time of year... 

EVERYONE is sick around us. My poor son is getting sick every other week at preschool. I need to do everything possible to keep myself healthy. This elixir is the CURE ALL! As soon as you start feeling down, make this. Make a big batch and sip it all day.  It may taste a little harsh at first but you start to enjoy it and your body wants it. It is incredibley amazing for your body. 3 SUPER ingredients to kick the bug out of your body!

Ginger-
Everyone know about gingers digestive benefits. Helps sooth an upset stomach and gas. We have always been given a ginerale when we are nausous to help. However modern research has revealed that ginger possesses numerous therapeutic properties including antioxidant effects, an ability to inhibit the formation of inflammatory compounds, and direct anti-inflammatory effects.

Garlic-

Besides fighting off vampires, Garlic is extremleey helpful with Cardiovascular Benefits, Anti-Inflammatory Benefits Across Body Systems, Antibacterial and Antiviral Benefits, as well as Cancer Prevention and Iron Metabolism. PHEW!

Limes-

A lime has similar if not the same benefits as Lemon. Which we all adore. So why not use some lime! They have Phytonutrients with Antioxidant and Antibiotic Effects, Support Optimal Health and Protection against Rheumatoid Arthritis. 

Im telling you, this elixir is a win win. We should be drinking a shot a day even when we are not sick! Here is how to make this Cure All!

Ingredients:

• 1 piece of ginger about the size of your hand. Skinned as much as possible and cubed. (About 1.5 cups)
• 2 Heads of Garlic- Peeled and chopped (about 15 cloves)
• 3 Limes cut into large cubes skin on
• 12 cups of water
• Honey to taste

Directions:

• In a large pot, add Water, Ginger, Garlic, and Limes. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 45- 60 minutes. (The longer the better but the less you will have.) This will boil down to about 4 cups.

•  Strain out all ingredients and pour liquid only into a jug. Add honey to taste. Without the honey it will be very hot and spicey. The honey tones it down. Drink warm small shots all day long. As much as you can. Store unused in regerator. Warm each shot before you drink it. 

You will start feeling better within the hour I'm telling you! It will give you a little energy and spunk while you are feeling down. 

Enjoy and stay healthy my friends.
