One of my favorite natural remedies that I swear by—especially during the colder months—is Fire Cider. I’ve been drinking it daily, and it’s kept me cold-free, even with three snotty children around! 🙌 Not only does it support your immune system, but it also helps with digestion, respiratory health, and detoxification.
It’s a simple, time-tested recipe full of powerful ingredients, and it's something I’ll be keeping up year-round. Below is the recipe I use to stay strong and healthy:
Ingredients:
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 piece ginger
- 2 tbsp turmeric
- 3 chili peppers
- 1 orange, sliced
- 500ml apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 rosemary stalks
- Black pepper (a few cracks)
Instructions:
- Combine all ingredients in a mason jar.
- Pour apple cider vinegar to cover everything, then seal tightly.
- Store in a cool, dark place and let it sit for 2-4 weeks, shaking the jar once a day.
- Strain the mixture before use, and you’re ready to enjoy!
Benefits:
- Boosts immune function 🦠💪 – Helps ward off colds and flu.
- Supports digestion and gut health 🍽️ – Aids digestion and maintains gut balance.
- Enhances respiratory health 🌬️ – Perfect for clearing sinuses and easing breathing.
- Anti-inflammatory properties ✨ – Reduces inflammation in the body.
- Naturally detoxifies your body 🌿 – A great way to support your body's natural detox processes.
I take a spoonful each day, and it has truly been a game-changer! It’s such a simple but powerful way to help support your body’s natural defenses. Plus, it's great for the whole family (just be mindful of the heat from the chili if you're serving it to little ones!).
Fire cider is a fantastic addition to your wellness routine, and I encourage you to give it a try. Let me know how it works for you, or if you have any other favorite natural remedies!
