Bai’s Ultimate Cold Cure
Have a cold? Starting to feel that tickle in the back of your throat? Sneezing or seasonal allergies got you down? Have the flu? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you NEED this cold cure. I have been using this recipe for the last decade after creating it from a moment of desperation with the flu. This recipe is what I give to all my clients, what I make for my family members and is my personal life line to kick a cold in its tracks. I actually even used this when both my husband and I got Covid and it helped our symptoms from getting worse and helped us feel better fast!
Normally, I would make this as a single serving into a tea, but I thought why not make it into a batch of ice cubes? This way, you can make at the beginning of cold season so that when you start to feel the early affects of a cold, its ready to go and all you have to do is drop the ice cube into hot water. It’s about holistic wellness and kicking over the counter cold medicine that has artificial coloring, chemicals and doesn’t do much to boost the immune system - just suppresses symptoms. This cold cure will do both, it will suppress symptoms and help boost your immune system so you can let your body do what it does best, heal.
I’ll be honest, the flavor of this is wild, and is a bit easier to palette if you add a little sweetener to your tea - especially if you are giving to kiddos. Make this tea 3 times a day at the start of a cold and until you feel back to your amazing self.
This cold cure is:
perfect for fall/winter
food allergy friendly
great for kids
easy to make
budget friendly
perfect to have ready to go in your freezer for when you need it the most!
