EMS personnel are constantly exposed to all sorts of germs and ill folks. With the cold and flu season becoming more pervasive, people are getting sick multiple times in one season. While mainstream society touts the latest over-the-counter medications, there are several natural alternatives that are not widely known.
Organic Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat Tea*:
Make this brand of hot tea with the squeezed juice of half a lemon and a tablespoon of raw honey from a local manufacturer. Local bees collect nectar from local flowers to make their honey, thus using their honey aligns your immune system to the local environment for better functionality. It also soothes the throat. The lemon juice cuts the mucous and frees breathing, and the Echinacea stimulates the immune system. Carry this in your thermos all day, every day.
*Organic Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat Tea is made by Traditional Medicinals and is available at Whole Foods Market and most health food stores.
