UNDER THE WEATHER TIPS:

Mix a  tablespoon of turmeric powder and a tablespoon of raw honey into a paste. You can eat off the spoon while sipping boiled water. Do this as often as you like throughout the day. Then make fresh grated ginger tea separately and drink as often as possible. This is meant to work wonders! – Courtesy of Tiffany Ragain, from the wisdom of Ayurveda. Thank you!
