Given the change in weather, contracting a common cold or cough is expected when the body’s resistance might be weak. Since turmeric root and ginger are said to be freshly available during the winter, a tonic made using these ingredients is ideal to build immunity as well as prevent inflammation.
½-inch piece turmeric root ½-inch piece ginger root ¼ cup water 1 teaspoon honey
Finely chop the ginger and turmeric root before adding it to a blender with some water.
Grind into a smooth, semi-solid paste before diluting it with some more water to bring to a liquid consistency.
Strain into a cup and mix in the honey before drinking it at least twice a week.
