#VALUE!
Winter pleasantly surprised us all with storms, rains, and winds. Yet, undoubtedly, if we could enjoy the rainy season without the viruses, illnesses, and coughs, we would gladly do so.
This traditional remedy, which is essentially a hot and steaming tea, is worth preparing daily and drinking two cups a day throughout winter. It is a strong antibacterial drink that can easily conquer even the most stubborn cough. It's a great idea to prepare a big jug and serve it to the whole family morning and evening.
Lemons have antibacterial properties and contain iron and Vitamin A. Lemon peel is even healthier! The combination of lemon peel with lemon juice helps detoxify the liver, cleanse the body, lungs, and respiratory system.
