Come on now, ladies and gentlemen. I haven't had strep throat since I was in first grade and now all of a sudden, I get it twice in three weeks? This is uncalled for and ridiculous, if you ask me. :)
So I've been on antibiotics and all that good stuff, but I figured it couldn't hurt to help them out a bit so I've been oil pulling with coconut oil (seriously, look it up - coconut oil has so many amazing health benefits), but I also whipped up a nasty little batch of an apple cider vinegar cough remedy I used a while back, because I remember how great it made my throat feel. Here's the recipe I use:
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (I'm sure you could use fresh ginger if that's all you had)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (I used Bragg's)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
Put all of those ingredients in a container with a water tight lid and shake the crap out of it until it all looks uniform in color. The spices will settle to the bottom of the container after a while, so be sure to shake it up every time before you use it. I fill a shot glass half full and knock it back. It's actually pretty amazing stuff - if you can get past the taste of the ACV... :)
I'll be back later this week with a couple recipes! I'm thinking about creating some weekly meal plan posts if anyone would be interested in seeing that!
