Natural Remedy: Master Tonic Information and Recipe

Have you heard of Master Tonic? I've been looking up natural remedies for sickness a lot lately. Usually around this time of the year we get lots of colds. We don't usually get seriously sick, but colds come and go like hot cakes. And now with an even younger one in the house it will be great to start treating for these sicknesses' now before they even start. Especially since Avery's in school and she comes in contact with AT LEAST 25 other students every day, she's bringing home a lot more germs.

Master Tonic is a natural treatment for a lot of infections. Mainly it can cure the common cold. It's anti-fungal, antiviral, anti-parasitic and anti-bacterial.

The reason it's so powerful is because of the fresh ingredients and because they are designed to stimulate blood circulation (which is quickest through the mouth) which helps introduce the detoxifying ingredients into your body.


ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

Garlic- it's an antibiotic that kills bacteria.  Man made antibiotics kill the good bacteria as well as the bad, garlic just kills the bad and leaves all of the good bacteria that our bodies need. It even increases the amount of healthy bacteria. Garlic is also an anti-viral (colds, flu and upper respiratory infections) and anti-fungal.

Onions- have a potent antibiotic, diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown onions to be an effective expectorant, making them useful for infections like the common cold, flu and persistent coughs. Onions have also been shown to  help prevent heart disease by stopping cholesterol from attaching to arterial walls and blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots.

Horseradish- From the same family as mustard and cabbage it is naturally anti-parasitic and antibacterial. Also has expectorant properties. It also stimulates your immune system. It has warming properties, so it's great and potent for sinuses and lungs. It helps open your sinus passages and increases blood flow there, which is where the common cold and flu usually begins.

Ginger- To start off with, this is great for lowering cholesterol, so it's great to add to anything you're cooking with. It's naturally antimicrobial and boosts immune system. It can help with chills, cold and fever. It's also great for an upset stomach, so whether you're pregnant or just feeling sour, it can help. And since it boosts your immune system naturally, it really is great to cook with it often.

Hot Peppers- can boost your immune system, has warming properties and can also is a great natural decongestant.

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar- has a lot of amazing properties to it. A natural antifungal and antiseptic, great for detoxifying, digestion and a lot more.

USING THE TONIC

Master tonic is STRONG. It's spicy and has a kick!

For daily immune boosting, drink 1-2 ounces, two (or more) times per day. Put it in your mouth, swish it around, pull through your teeth (the mouth is the quickest way to the bloodstream) gargle and swallow. Don't dilute with water or the effect won't be as great.

If you're fighting an infection, take the tonic 4 (or more) times a day. It can be used during pregnancy and is safe for children as well (use smaller doses) since food is non-toxic.
