If you are a half-way decent cook, you probably have the items that we are going to write about in your kitchen cupboard. If you don't, we suggest you go immediately, if not sooner and purchase them.
For herbs and spices are Nature's way of keeping slimy old germ and his evil cousins, aka viruses, out of the temple.. aka YOUR BODY! Here's what you should have in stock to fight a good, clean fight and make those wicked bugs aware they're 'Not wanted on voyage!'
Apple Cider Vinegar, Cloves, Cayenne Pepper, Powdered Cinnamon, several large pieces of fresh Ginger Root, lots of fresh Garlic (which is both Antiseptic & Antispasmodic). Several fresh Lemons, powdered Turmeric, Honey, Organic Sesame Oil (found in Health or Middle Eastern food shops). Eucalyptus or Balsam Oil.
You will need a large, thick ceramic mug (which keep drinks hot), a saucer, a Pestle and Mortar to bash spices with, a juice extractor for Lemons, a small bottle with a dropper, most Chemists will sell you on for about £1. or a $, a kettle for hot water, a large saucepan, a thick cotton towel, not a small one and lastly, a small fine sieve.
You need to fill the small dropper bottle with the Organic Sesame Oil, it MUST be Organic Oil and put this bottle on your bedside table.
Now let's get your nasal passages clear.. Remember EAR, NOSE & THROAT.. it is vital to keep these clear and clean. If they are free of mucus, then old germy can't slime his way in and get his wicked toes underneath the table as it were and WHO remembers being made to stick a towel over your head and breathe in the hot steam?
Well, who ever made you do it, was right to do so.. but we're going to give it a MAJOR kick up the rear-end to make it more effective!
Take: 1 teaspoonful of Cloves, 1 clove of Garlic & 2 chunks of an inch of Ginger.
Take the Cloves and bash them into a pulp, do the same with the garlic, thinly slice 1 chunk of ginger root and then bash it up as well. Put everything into the mug, pour on boiled water, put the saucer on the top and let it brew for about four minutes.
Whilst this is brewing, boil your kettle and fill the saucepan with hot water into which you have thinly sliced the 2nd chunk of fresh Ginger. Put it on your kitchen work surface and cover it with a lid, have your towel to hand, strain and drink the 'tea' as hot as you can. Take the lid off and bend over the saucepan, covering your head with the towel.
You are breathing in the gingery hot steam and you have the hot liquid inside you. All the ingredients in the tea are MAJOR germ busters. The combination of the two will really loosen and move mucus. Remain over the pan until the steam is no-longer steamy.
Do this in the evening in the last half hour before you go to bed. Then, when you are about to turn off your bedside light, take the dropper bottle and with your head tilted back, put 2 drops of the oil up each nostril. Keep your head back for at least 3 minutes.
The oil will seep through any impacted mucus and helps loosen it. The 3 actions of steaming, the tea and the oil will clear out your sinuses and eustacian tubes. This will also help your hearing which, very often, goes a bit wonky when you have a cold or a blocked nose.
Do this for 4 nights, you find it boring? We find feeling grotty MUCH more boring! Just get on and do it and stop whinging, anyone would think you enjoyed being ill? Perhaps you do, oh dear, poor you.
That is enough.. but don't fret folks, for she's got plenty more healthy tricks to give you. Stick around. In fact why don't you go and read some more Tales from this African Grey Parrot. Don't tell gross fibs, have you really read them all?
She's off to watch the Goggle Box, Beaky has serious beaking to do on a couple of flight feathers. FlapFlap.
GeeGee Parrot.
