Flu "through the legs", how to protect the lungs with just one drink

The cold weather has arrived, colds are very common at this time of the year and according to doctors, flu cases have increased, dominating those with Covid. 

But while doctors appeal not to use antibiotics, you can try to relieve your sore throat and cough with the help of natural ingredients, it is only necessary that you are not allergic to any of them.

Adding honey to a cup of tea is a proven way to soothe a sore throat and soothe a cough. 

Scientific research also supports this claim, a study published in April 2021 in the journal BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine found that honey is better than over-the-counter medications for reducing the frequency and severity of coughing due to upper respiratory tract infections. So take a teaspoon or two of honey before bed, either plain or mixed with a cup of tea or warm water. Be careful not to give honey to babies under one year old, as it can cause a disease called infant botulism, doctors warn.

Ingredients for cough and sore throat preparation:

honey
ginger (fresh or ground)
pepper
thyme (fresh or ground)
water

Here's how to prepare it:

1. Mix a little more than 100 grams of honey with twice as much warm (not hot) water.
2. Add thyme, pepper and ginger, about 20 grams each
3. Mix the ingredients until you get a compact mass
In a well-closed container, this mixture can stay for several weeks in a cool and dry place. It is recommended that you take three to five teaspoons a day.
