Must Have Excellent Home Remedy
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
This is an excellent home remedy that you want to keep available at all times in your home.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
It’s great as a preventative and for maintaining good health.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
There are some variations to this with the addition of other ingredients such as ginger, or cayenne pepper.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
The base mixture includes the three main ingredients of garlic, apple cider vinegar and honey.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
Each of these three ingredients have individual benefits on their own and in this mixture, a synergistic effect enhances the properties of each.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
The apple cider vinegar must be unfiltered and the honey must be raw, unpasteurised (and preferably organic) honey for all the benefits to be realised.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
One of the main reasons honey is pasteurised is to speed up the packaging process (heating makes it flow much quicker) – so pretty much all honeys from supermarkets will be unsuitable.

This remedy is an immune stimulant it lowers blood pressure as well as cholesterol (if you are someone who still believes in that hypothesis), it leads to fewer colds and infections, and is helpful in conditions such as gout, arthritis, and joint aches.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
It is also a good tonic for the digestive tract and benefits the skin, and is helpful in weight loss.
๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง
In short, it is beneficial for a wide range of conditions as it is a general immune stimulant and enhancer.
