Life / Polish home remedies for cold, stomach ache, migraine? [49]
I know of one "nalweka" for colds. It's made with garlic, honey, lemons and water.
Lemon juice from 1/2 kg of lemons
30 finely chopped cloves of garlic
2 tbsp of honey
1L water
Add the finely chopped garlic to lemon juice, mix in water and honey. Leave it overnight to infuse. Drink one shot glass x3/day for colds and flu, or once a day as a preventative. Store in a dark cool place.
I bottle it in a dark bottle and leave it in the refrigerator, usually lasts for quite some time.
You have to be very careful with the "doses", as too much garlic can make you feel sick. I'd start of with one shot glass with some food in the early evening - definitely a couple of hours before you go to sleep. Then move the 'dose' up a couple days later, monitor your body's reactions.
