With cold and flu season on the verge, I thought I would share my favorite cold and flu remedy. A mixture of honey and cinnamon for colds or the flu has been used for generations! The mixture is often called a cure for colds.
Honey has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-microbial properties. Many studies have shown that it is effective at fighting external and internal infections. Cinnamon is also beneficial as it contains anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties.
Honey and cinnamon are powerful immune boosters! You can use this remedy to not only reduce the severity of your cold, but also prevent future colds or other viruses.
Together these two ingredients make a super healing combination.

Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon raw honey

2. Take it 2 times a day, for 3 days as soon as you feel a cold or flu coming on.
If you don’t want to take the mixture straight, you can still get the benefits by adding the ingredients to a cup of tea.
