It\u2019s loaded with anti-inflammatory, immune-supporting, and decongestant herbs.\u00a0Best of all, it\u2019s super simple to make. Even though the combination sounds bizarre, it\u2019s actually tasty in a sweet and sour kind of way.<\/p>\n<p>Fire cider can be made entirely with items from the grocery store, or customized with more exotic herbs from an herb shop. I even have an \u201cinstant\u201d version to share with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 2018 flu season is a rough one<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flu season here in the US is from October through May, with the peak in February. We haven\u2019t even hit peak flu season yet, and already Alabama has declared a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/alabama-declares-state-of-emergency-flu-epidemic\/\">state of emergency<\/a> and California is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/local\/california\/la-me-ln-flu-surge-20180106-htmlstory.html\">running out of Tamiflu<\/a>. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/weekly\/usmap.htm\">CDC\u2019s flu map<\/a> for the week ending January 6, 2018, the flu is widespread in 49 states, and active in all 50 states.<\/p>\n<p>In general, most flu cases do not require hospitalization. Sometimes, it may not even be the flu, but a bad cold instead. While the symptoms are similar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/cold-or-flu-heres-how-to-tell\/\">this guide can help<\/a> you sort out the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Fire Cider Makes Us Feel Better<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we have the flu, we feel congested, achy, feverish, and have a bad cough. The traditional recipe for fire cider is loaded with simple, familiar, yet potent, ingredients which address each of those complaints.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Garlic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Garlic is well-known for its immune-supporting effects. It also acts as an expectorant and an anti-inflammatory, which helps those painful coughs and body aches. It is also known as a diaphoretic, which means it causes the body to sweat. This helps to reduce fevers naturally. Thankfully, fresh garlic is a common ingredient in most grocery stores.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Onion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fire Cider: How to Make a Fast, Effective Remedy for the Flu One of my favorite remedies for cold and flu season is fire cider.
