Do you have any recipes to help fight a cold/the flu?

We love reaching for items from our farm-acy over solutions you'd find at your local drugstore. Here are some tried and true faves:

• Ginger Lemon Honey Tea: You can make this immunity-boosting, body-soothing concoction ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to two months. Use this versatile go-to recipe for allergies, when you feel any kind of sickness coming on, or if you're in the middle of a full-blown cold.
• Elderberry Syrup: This syrup can be taken daily to help boost the immune system, and taken multiple times a day when experiencing cold or flu symptoms. We love using homemade elderberry syrup to make immune-boosting smoothie cubes and when you can make a medicinal syrup into popsicles, we are 100% here for it.
• Rawkstar Fire Cider: While this tonic is not for the faint of heart, it does wonders in limiting the life of a cold or the flu, and helps to strengthen the immune system along the way. This is one home remedy that’ll scare the cough right out of ya!
• Homemade Vapor Rub: One of the most uncomfortable parts of being sick is chest and sinus congestion. This vapor rub is a wonderful natural decongestant. Rub it on your chest to help clear your sinuses, as well as your feet, legs, and anywhere else you need to soothe aching muscles.

In addition to these awesome, natural remedies, we also love chugging immune-boosting smoothies to help our bodies fight off colds and the flu naturally. This Immune System-Boosting Smoothie is full of green vegetables to get you strong and vibrant while this Cabbage Smoothie (a.k.a. Citrus Cold Recovery) will come in handy whether you recently caught a cold or you're trying to avoid catching one. And you can give your immune system a boost any time by blending up this vibrant purple powerhouse smoothie that combines black elderberry syrup with antioxidant-rich blackberries and pitaya (dragon fruit).
