How To Easily Beat A Cold The Vegan Way

As a vegan (person who doesn’t consume animal products), I have experienced that the better I eat, the better I feel. Eating healthy and fresh helps us prevent disease. I haven’t been to the doctor in ages and neither have my littles.

Of course, between the cold weather and the crowds, we are bound to get something sometime. Enter: my week of sneezing, coughing, aching, and feeling very weak. Translated, that also means staying in my pajamas all day, a messy home, and laundry and dishes piling up literally everywhere. (I wish I had a picture for you, but that was the last thing on my mind, if you know what I mean).

Hippocrates, a Greek physician who is known as the father of Western medicine, said “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” Nature provides us with very effective ingredients that make for amazing remedies and cures, no drug necessary.

I decided to share the incredible home remedy that made me feel better so you can learn how to easily beat a cold in a natural way. I drank some of this wonderful hot tea and it started working on my body instantly and within a few hours, the cold was gone. It is an old recipe that my grandpa shared with all his 17 children and has been passed on ever since. He was a healer and a very wise man.

Ingredients for vegan cold remedy

• 6 big garlic cloves, peeled, minced
• 1/4 onion (red is better, but any will do)
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons of molasses (did you know vegans don’t use honey?)

Directions to make vegan cold remedy

• Put 2 1/2 cups of water in a pan on the stove
• Add the garlic, onion, and rosemary
• Boil for 10 minutes, then turn off
• Add cinnamon and molasses
• Serve and drink

All the ingredients are really powerful individually, and together they will act instantly to boost immunity and kill your cold, the vegan way.
