We've all experienced that dreadful moment when we wake up, slowly open our eyes, and realize that we can't breathe through our nose, our throat feels as if we've swallowed shards of glass, and a pounding headache is pulsing behind our eyes. This unfortunate and unpleasant scenario is none other than the onset of the common cold. While there's no magical cure for this ailment, there are ways to strengthen your immune system and find relief from its pesky symptoms.

Introducing Immunitea, a special formula crafted by Dr. Sage to fortify your immune system and combat a range of common cold symptoms, from a stuffy nose to a persistent cough. While this recipe might not win any taste awards, the results it delivers are certainly worth it. Immunitea boasts a high success rate in helping patients bid farewell to their cold-related woes.

Immunitea Recipe:

  • 1 quart hot water

  • 4-6 cloves of fresh garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated then chopped

  • 1 tbsp raw honey

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • ⅛ to ¼ tsp of cayenne pepper

Combine all of these ingredients together. Note that the cayenne should add enough spice to make your ears warm and your nose run, but not so much as to cause gastrointestinal distress. If you have a history of ulcer disease or gastritis, we recommend not using Immunitea as it can aggravate these conditions.

Why These Ingredients

Garlic is both a natural antibacterial and anti-fungal, which can help combat bacteria often found in mucus. Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory, while lemon and honey both soothe the throat and have some antibacterial properties. Cayenne pepper is an immune stimulant, which improves circulation and assists in the elimination of mucus.

Directions

Immunitea is most effective if taken at the first sign of symptoms. Be sure to consume the entire quart in 24 hours for maximum effect. Pro-tip: shake or stir the remedy as you drink it to make sure you get bits of garlic and ginger in every sip.
