Ill?



So two weeks ago, I found myself in an odd predicament.. I was sick!
Sickness and colds aren’t very common for me here in recent years after I changed my eating habits, but oh, when it hits- IT HITS.
Whenever I do get sick, I always drink this easy to make concoction of natural goodness which tends to spring me right back.
  
For a dry cough only:                                                                                                                               
(If you are coughing up phlegm read the sinus section. You never want to suppress a cough with phlegm as it will prohibit your body’s natural response and defense mechanisms to wellness. Phlegm is a mucous bacteria that is not needful to your body. Your body knows this and that’s why it causes you to cough it up as a means of ridding itself of harm)

  • 1 cup of water (cold or room temp)
  • 1-3 cap-fills of Apple Cider Vinegar (depends on the severity and frequency of your cough)
  • 4 tbsp (or to taste) of Raw Honey, room temp or cold- if you can afford local honey, even better!                                                                                                                                                                    
  • ***This is best and most effective drank cold. Honey is a natural antibacterial/antiviral sweetener that is only effective in combating infections when consumed at room temperature or cold. When we add heat to honey say in teas, coffees or baked goods, the heat diminishes its antibacterial/antiviral properties leaving you with, well, just a sweetener. 
    -----------------------------------------------
For sinus congestion and infection: In a coffee mug prepare 
  • 1/2 cup of boiling water
  • 1/2 cup of boiling Chicken Broth
  • 1-3 pinches of Cayenne Pepper
  • 1-2 sprigs of fresh Thyme
  • 1 big clove of fresh Garlic
  • 1 bigger ring of fresh Onion (chopped so all is submerged in liquid)
  • 1 tsp of table salt (or to taste)
  • 2 1inch sized shavings of fresh ginger
   ***You’ll want to steep the mixture for at least 7-10 minutes but make sure you drink it hot. Not only will this drink contribute to your overall wellness, but it will help fight off that unwanted sinus infection as well as help bring up and out phlegm and mucus from your chest and nasal cavity. 
-----------------------------------------------
For a sore throat infection:
This one is my favorite! 
  • Cut 1-3 (however much you can stand to eat before the acid burns your lips) rings out of a fresh but ripened pineapple.
  • Dip, drizzle or drown the pineapple in raw honey and EAT!
 ***I know, I know- this sounds crazy! If you want to kill that scratchy, itchy, sore, raw-like feeling in your throat, you have a dynamite duo of infection fighting power. Who knew pineapple is naturally antibacterial, antifungal AND antiviral?? Not me. Though it seems odd to consume such an acidic fruit with a sore throat, your throat will actually be soothed when the acid fuses with the honey! Sometimes if my throat is a little scratchy, I’ll have just a few tbsp of honey and that takes it away! 
   
Let me know if this works for you!

Toothpaste!






'SAYCHEESE'
Introducing our first all natural toothpaste. As simple as it looks, I must admit this was no over-night process. Through much needed step by step critiques and tests, one day I woke up and it just hit me in a divinely inspired kind of way. This toothpaste consists of natural oil, herb and table salt, no really, that's it!

At room temperature it can be a bit oily as seen in the bottom picture. When the toothpaste is cooled it solidifies to a creamy consistency (top picture) that I prefer, but my husband prefers it as a liquid.

This toothpaste will not only outrageously whiten your teeth but will rid your mouth of bacteria because of its anti-fungal/anti-bacteria properties. Do you have tooth aches? Gum issues? Abscess? Well I hereby inform you that once you get ahold of this, you will have no need of anti-biotics (anti means against, bio means life) nor a dentist.. unless of course you're in need of extraction. As our own testimonials, we've found all its perks to be the truth, even on false teeth it doesn't discriminate.

Have you ever looked at the back of your toothpaste tube? Well I suggest you have a gander and put ours to the test. On the back of any top brand paste, you'll find a common key ingredient called Sodium Fluoride. If you happen to look up other usages of Sodium Fluoride, you will find it's the main component in rat poisoning; yes RAT POISONING. Now why would they put a harmful element in our toothpaste? I dunno, but perhaps that's the reason why also listed on the back of your toothpaste tube it says, "If ingested, immediately contact poison control"... why would I need to contact, not just my physician, but POISON CONTROL??? It must be poisonous. Did I mention that unlike regular toothpaste, it contains no sugar?
