A Word of Caution
I am not a doctor or medical professional. If you are not feeling well, please seek professional medical attention and medicine. And if you are thinking of supplementing your treatment with home remedies, be sure to talk to your medical professional about them. It’s important that you get the medicine and treatments you need to get back to good health.
Also, remember that honey should never be given to infants under the age of one. And if you decide to introduce honey into your toddler’s diet, be sure to check with your pediatrician first.
More Home Remedies
You can make turmeric tea in just a few steps. The elderberry syrup and fire cider recipes take a little more time to prepare, but when you get the chance, be sure to add them to your supply of home remedies, so that they will be ready for future colds and flu.

Thanks Mary for this wonderful information. I was able to make this syrup for my asthmatic daughter using your guide. Thanks for your help.
Hi Alice, So happy to hear that this syrup is helpful. Love, Mary
Hello Mary, that’s for the procedures. It looks really easy to get it done. I want to ask, why should I keep it for 4 weeks before using it. Can’t it be used immediately after preparation? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks
Hi Darren,
Thanks for your comment. You can certainly use it right after you make it but it’s best after it’s had a chance to “steep”. It becomes stronger.
BTW – Do you enjoy making traditional foods? If so, I have a playlist of some of my videos titled “Mastering the Basics of Traditional Nutrient Dense Foods Cooking”. It’s a series of 15 detailed videos that covers How to Make Bone Broth, Cultured Dairy, Ferments, Sourdough Starter (my foolproof stater), Sourdough Bread, Soaked and Sprouted Nuts and Beans, and How to Soak and Sprout Grains to Make your own Sprouted Flour at Home. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkRuW3pBo2U3b4eu0QraZReKlGzA11h3y And please share the playlist with any other folks you think might be interested in learning about these types of things.

Hi Susam, Yes, you will want to keep it refrigerated. I am not comfortable leaving garlic submerged in honey at room temperature.

Bonjour Marie. Je vous suis de la France (dans le Sud). Je me régale avec vos recettes et conseils. Je commence à changer notre façon de nourrir et c’est vraiment un bonheur. Est-ce que l’on peut trouver tes livres en français. J’aimerais pouvoir en offrir à une amie. Merci pour tout ce que tu partages. God bless You.
Salut Marie, pardonne-moi mais mon français est assez rouillé! J’espère que cela a du sens. Merci beaucoup pour tous ces gentils mots! Je n’ai pas encore de livre de cuisine, mais j’espère en écrire un cet été. Je suis si heureux d’apprendre que vous appréciez mes vidéos! Dieu vous bénisse aussi! Amour, Mary
