When I was a child I got really sick. Blizzard of 1978. My mom stayed with her best friend. My Dad made it in. You couldn't travel. My temperature was over 104. No way to get me to hospital. He made me a hot toddy with tea whiskey, honey, and some lemon juice. He helped me drink it. It's the only time I saw him cry. He slept on the floor beside my bed. My fever broke, and chicken noodle soup did the rest. Do you know that people chastised him for giving me whiskey. It saved my life. I grew up around farms and that incident started me on the road to herbal medicine!
My grandpa did the same thing with my mom. It worked well.
Mm😊@@carriesearskohles7891
My Mom would roll a lemon to soften it up. Squeeze the juices from the lemon into a pot of water, cut lemon up, place in pot. Bring to a boil. Place in your cup hot then add whiskey and honey. Drink this when your ready for bed. Drink then rub your chest with a little Vicks Vapor Rub get under the covers an sweat it out. It works every time. Been doing it for years! It helps too if you have a vaporizer it helps with breathing. The new ones come with a slot for Vick's vapor strips.
How much do you take and how many hours between does?
I praise your Dad for caring about you and saving you!!! He listened to his heart and probably what his generation had used and learned!!! I don’t drink alcohol but I would definitely do this to save my own child!!! Give him a hug from me!!!
The father of a friend taught me equal parts of the whiskey, lemon juice, and raw honey. No spices. Keep in frig. Take a tablespoon or two as needed. Works very well.
I had whooping cough as a child and whenever I got a sore throat, I would cough until my toes curled. Not only was the duration long, but I was very loud when coughing. So as not to wake the house up, my dad kept a teddy bear container of this mixture on his night stand. When he heard me coughing I would get a small spoonful. Knocked me off my toes for the night. No I did not turn into an alcoholic, nor do I drink period unless taking a small teaspoonful at night till this day. He called it his Italian silencer😂
This is what the Ticos in Costa Rica make when someone starts to get a cold or flue or bronchitis. They cut 4 limes in half. (I think they were Key Limes) and squeeze all the juice as much as possible into a cup. Then they heat the juice so it is hot then stir 2 tablespoons of raw honey into the hot juice until it melts. The warmth makes you feel so good when sick and really helps with a cough and stuffiness. This is on my Natural List for remedies. Normally I would have been sick for at least 2 weeks but I was well within 5 days. Love my Tico neighbors. Always learning something new and so many fruits that I have never seen. I havent tasted any that I do not like. They are all delicious. I am adding this too to my list because it helps with the sore throat.
I've had asthmatic bronchitis half my life. When I started using doTERRA Lime essential oil I still get colds, but never had bronchitis in the 6 years I've used lime oil. I think it breaks up the mucus and helps as expectorant too.
I adore the taste of limes. More so than lemons. So lime juice and raw honey is all that is mixed together? No alcohol? Or dilute with warm water?
My Mom used to make cough syrup with honey, peppermints, butter, lemon and GIN. It was so good that you had no problem taking some. It was better than anything you can buy today.
I made the JD with lemon and local honey when had the dry cough. Whatever was in my throat it broke it up and I was able to have a productive cough and get better. I'm not a drinker but since then I keep some around now
I remember my mom giving me hot toddies for my cramps they were better than over the counter medicine. I do take the hot toddies for mucus and coughs that work better than the cough medicine. I’ve gone back to all the old remedies and herbs because I find they help much better.
I was given a lot of fresh lemons from my neighbor. I fermented some in honey and then put it in the fridge. I had no idea what I was going to do with the syrupy mixture, but now I know. Thank you!
A few years ago I decided to make a sore throat spray. I added some elderberry syrup to spilanthes extract in a small medicine bottle with a spray top. It worked very well and the grandchildren liked it. A good sleep remedy for children who have a cold is a warm glass of milk with a spoon of honey and a chunk of butter at bedtime. I remember my mother giving this to me and it was soothing and I would easily fall asleep. I used the same for my child.
Thanks Heidi right on time, as always. Your thumbnail design is perfect it catches my eye before any others and all the pretty colors to match, you do an amazing job with your channel, you are a lady of many talents and skills, Mr Rain Country is a lucky man you all are great together. Heidi always has the sweetest look in here eyes when she's sitting next to Mr Rain Country yall are adorable!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Truly appreciated!
I have the UTMOST respect for you Mrs Heidi... Your wisdom and knowledge is out of this world. I look forward to seeing your videos more than any other channel I watch. I have so many infusions going because of you, this is another one I'll be adding. May God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra and to All those watching God Bless
I made this as I watched the video, I went ahead and gave some right away to my husband because he’s been coughing so much and not getting any sleep. Thank you❤
Take one onion and dice put in mason jar in layers with raw honey. Cover. After a shirt time you will notice a liquid forming. After several hours strain. I take one Teaspoon at a time when cough happens. Also Egyptian Licorice root tea with honey and lemon
redwoodsgal, my mom used this when I was little, and I am using it too, just sliced cooking onion + raw honey 🙂
My momma used to give us kids hot toddy when sick 55 yrs ago and I love the dehydrated organic lemon ideas to add to the remedy 🤩 thank you
I used blackberry brandy, and I think it equaled 1 tsp to do that...Yes, it is effective!
Did you add anything else or just the blackberry brandy?
I need to write down TONS of your recipes Heidi.
My mom used to, and I did with my kids, give us hot tea honey n lemon or if really bad heat a bit of honey with lemon in a shot glass and take warm as a cough syrup. Then nothing to drink for a bit to let it work. Also, gargle very warm salt water before bed and as needed as a very strong expectorant. These came from my grandma who was born in Sicily and had all of her children there. My grandfather brought them over to America as a veteran of WWI. I hated ginger as a young person, but have come to appreciate and enjoy it in recent years. I will enjoy incorporating many of the herbs and spices you are recommending. I may even incorporate some of my double dipped moonshine maple wine 😂
My beloved sister, I'm most grateful for your videos.
all the time - God is good
So excited about this! My husband won't take anything in a liquid form because he's sure it will taste nasty but he is a firm believer in a shot of whiskey at the first sign of a cold and then taking honey and lemon for coughs and scratchy throats. He'll love this already mixed up!
My boss at one time, from Yugoslavia, he and his wife when we were sick or nit f3eling well,and sore throats ,made us a drink of the same but had black peppercorns , and ground in bottom of cup and that last sip always had a slight burn ,but boy did it knock it out of us real fast always felt better, we lived upstairs from where we worked , and they were always happy yo help us feel better..
I am going to liquor store as soon as done watching and going to make some!!
Thank you! I just put a pint jar of this together, and after watching Dr. Eric Berg's video on how to stop a sore throat instantly, I added 1 bay leaf to your recipe.
One of my brothers used to have croup occasionally back in the '50s. I have no idea where she got the idea, but it worked. She would pour a tablespoon of whisky and light it with a match. When it burned off, there was about a teaspoon left. She let that cool and gave it to him. It worked pretty good. I don't remember her giving it to the rest of us, so maybe it was last resort. I have however eaten a teaspoon of sugar with a couple drops of kerosene on it more times than I can remember; it worked OK. My favorite sore throat tea is made from spilanthes blooms and sipped while very warm; nicely numbing.
I warm honey with bodyheat. With honey that has become opaque, I sit the jar at my husband's hip while his in his recliner. It takes a little bit of time and planning, but it doesn't damage any of the benefits of the "raw" honey because it never goes above his body temperature.
I had a dry cough and put white thyme essential oil mix with a Carrier oil on my throat. Cough gone immediately.
Also , in order to keep things raw but warming and infusing ingredients together , I always put the container on my furnace vents on the floor or next to wall vents and things warm up gently without using extra electricity .
My oldest son walked in while I was binge watching you today. He says that lady could pass as your sister, you two look alike & enjoy the same things…where do you think I learn it from!? Much love Sister Heidi!! 💗 lol
Love the video! I loved how you said "it'll hurt" I laughed out loud.
haha!
👍🏼 old family favorite! Thanks for reminding me
This a great addition to my medicine cabinet! Thank you, Heidi!
Sober 7 yes. Heck no for me. But you do a great job.
Note, I have alcohol free recipes in the description box
I did try it with the lemon, but I have such a sensitivity to lemons that even in small amts., it was hard for me. My husband uses the lemon mixture. My batch consists of dried orange slices instead, 1 tsp ginger powder, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 star anise and 1 crushed garlic. I use whiskey, hubby likes the Rum for these prepared medicinal blends. I use the same amt. of honey. It works quite well in calming things down for our use during the day. A small amt of Whiskey at night helps keep the cough at bay, allowing everyone to sleep better. LOL We don't drink either, but I agree, alcohol has medicinal benefits when used appropriately.
I like the idea of putting some into a cup of hot water for an evening tea. I tend to drink a tea with ginger, honey and Echinacea when I feel even a small viral load attacking my body.
Thank you. We're dealing with the remnants of our illness. This was a great reminder!
Gods blessings for you and all your family and still love you shows and thanks for sharing
Never thought of making this ahead of time. I usually make something similar by the cup! LOVE this, better than (Thera....flu...) Tastes better than (Ny...quil...) and REALLY relaxes and soothes! Thank you for the 💡 ideas!
Thank you for sharing your imformation Allah bless you .🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
Thank you, Heidi, for another great video on tincture for coughs, congestion and sore throat.
I just made some of this the other day using the honey wild turkey ,lemon and I crushed up some horehound candy . its been sitting now for a week , it works so good ,. Love your videos they are so informative and helpful. Many blessings to you !
Normally, I put ginger (garlic too but separate jar with honey) in a glass jar to sit in honey for a few months. I went to grab my honey for this recipe and discovered I forgot to get more and was out. So, I cheated and took the honey and ginger that had been in my fridge for 3 months. It had become very thick, turned almost white, not sure why other than I might have gotten carried away with how much ginger lol (my fav). Turned out really good, had a nice flavor from it :) Thank you sharing all the great information!
That honey sounds perfect for this!
This video was right on time as I've been suffering from a sore throat for the 3rd day now, thank you! I love your channel as it is my go to!
I used to always keep Drambuie on hand for that purpose - it was originally a medicinal concoction before it became popular as drink, and always worked really well. But it is really expensive. I had a little cinnamon JB bourbon (I adore anything cinnamon flavoured) that I bough about 6 years ago, so I have used the last of that to make a small batch - extra cinnamon-y now, lol. We are heading into the back of summer here, so it will be nice and infused by the time winter hits. Also have some honey infused fermented garlic hanging out at the back of the fridge.
Yep, got that honey infused garlic but I like adding black seed and hot peppers, sometimes onions or other spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves: czcams.com/video/fvrmlLhHJdo/video.html
Tried to make some for my daughter just recently when she was sick - she hates it and refused, so I drank it and thought it was darn good! Turns out I picked my son in law's most expensive whiskey LOL I know NOTHING about whiskey, but I seem to know what is good. It did clear up my sinuses just like that! Contemplating to change out my sage and ginger and lemon balm, onion juice..... My daughter did take the black radish (winter radish) juice though!
I can't thank you enough. You are my go to person every time and your just spot on ,on everything. Thank you Dr. Mandelle for taking the chance here on the internet.
Great video! I remember my mom making us that drink when we where sick and it sure worked:) Me and my husband love the flavor of the star anise and we have been drinking tea with that in it and it sure makes the flavor wonderful. Thanks for the tips and information it is much appreciated.
Perfect timing! Don't usually get whiskey but maybe it's time to have some on hand.👍
I'm binge watching some of your videos I've already learned so much!
So we did the experiment with celery yesterday and it isn’t quite finished, but it’s already apparent that the unblanched ones kept their color much better.
Can you imagine if we mixed ALL the things! I guess that’s where fire cider came from. I might try a ridiculous concoction someday. Whiskey, honey, lemon, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, elderberry, horehound, mullein, star anise, orange slices, grapefruit peel reduction, cinchona bark, holy basil, lemon balm, turmeric, black pepper, rosemary, garlic, all the dried greens, LOL 🤣🤪
I have a tendency to add a lot to my teas, syrups and more but find it is really best to mix it up so you are not always taking the same thing. When you keep it simple and mix it up, you get better over all results.
I swear by Mullein tea as an excellent expectorant.
Thank you Heidi! 🙂
Blessings! 💜
Would have loved to have this recipe when I had covid
Thank you for another wonderful recipe.
Trying a little Fireball whiskey, onion/lemon/honey syrup, a dash of cinnamon and cloves, lemon extract, and anise extract in a mug, then filled 3/4 + of the coffee mug with very warm water. Tastes good hoping it helps.
Awesome, making some today for my niece who can't kick the cough left from C.
Making this today Heidi! So timely and as always, very helpful. I'll let you know how it works :)
So thankful for this video Heidi. Will definitely get our concentrate going today. Take care.
Thanks so much Heidi .. I’m also making this …
Hello Heidi thanks again for sharing this information on Cough and congestion fast relief I’ll be making this one to add to my home made medicine I normally let mine sit for 30 days in a dark cabinet thanks.
Wonderful recipe. So many ways to tweak it for personal preference. Thank you for sharing ❤
Excellent timing, as I've just caught something giving me the sniffles, whilst trying not to give it to my 92-year old father - thanks Heidi! Happy New Year to you and yours, from France!
Excellent information! My first batch of mead is almost ready to start racking, when it is finished and bottled I am going to make this recipe with mead instead of whiskey. I did make an elderberry medicinal honey a few months ago, but it’s almost all gone so I’ll be trying this next! God bless you!
Thanks! I will definitely make some.
Thanks Heidi this was right on time because I'm dealing with this very issue.
Thanks for the video I think I'll make this just to have this winter. Sounds good I don't drink either, the small amount that you need is no big deal. Rather be prepared. Thank you so much keep up the good work
Thank you for this video. I don't drink but use Colloidal silver as an antibiotic, antibacterial, but maybe the alcohol will cut right through the mucus. And I make my tea with pepper corns too. Also I've been using Cinchona bark tea for the quinine and the quinidine in it that is beneficial to the heart and for arrhythmia and palpitations and so much more as any intermittent fevers.
Here is the video I did on quinine and cinchona bark: czcams.com/video/VEh1FFmTXO0/video.html
We do also make and use our own colloidal silver but not something we take daily, only if we think we need it but I use it daily for many other things
I also make my own elderberry syrup and after I make the syrup I use those ingredients to make elderberry vinegar it works great
Love your channel, I have learned so much. I am making a lot of my own products including medicinal and personal care mixtures. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you, Heidi. We’re ok for now, but will make this to have on hand for those nagging, continuing coughs. 😃
Great video! And appropriate scripture!
Good video and tips , thanks for sharing ,God bless !
I spent night before last up all night coughing. Last night I didn't cough as much but I surely would love to STOP coughing. I get the dry cough badly every time I get the flu. It can do a pretty good amount of damage to my body with all that coughing. I can't drink a lot of spices but thank you for these dieas. I'm going to see what I can figure out that I can do with your ideas. I don't know why lemon is often used as it burns my stomach especially when I am sick.
As always Heidi - wonderful wonderful video❣️🤗
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your recipe and ideas on this. I think I will try your recipe.
I make something a lot like this. You gave me some new ideas.
Thank you so much Heidi for this great recipe. It really works!
Going to store to get the things now. This cough is keeping me up all 🌙 night. Looking forward to a good night's rest. I remember my parents used things like this. Thank God for internet. These good old ways didn't get lost. I love how you presented it. Your very talented in presentation 👏 👌.
I hope this works for you!
Thank you thank you. Just made it ❤
Perfect, I need it now. Thank you 😊
We may just try this recipe. Thank you.😊
Thanks Heidi I do hope to try this,
I have done tea lemon and honey years ago I made hot toddy for my husband.
Food as medicine, medicine as food.
Тhank you for good resipi.
Great recipe! Thanks!
Good Morning 😃
Jameson's - good choice!
Haha, it was leftover from my son's wedding in August and somehow ended up at our house so I put it to use :D
@@RainCountryHomestead Gosh...wish that would happen to me!!! (It'll be a while till my son's wedding though - he's only 14! - Guess I'll have to buy my own!) Lovely recipe though - I'm working my way through my elderberry syrup that my daughter and I made. Works a treat - but maybe needs brandy!! 😆
I set soime to steep just now. Thanks, Heidi. I forgot I had some dried ginger in the spice pantry! yahoo!
Mr Rosehaven gets upper respiratory stuff. (Thank the good Lord, I don't get sick). Here's the recipe for a steam tent that works for him. Don't forget, use only filtered or distilled water, not tap water.
Large pinches of dried: nasturtium, sage, tarragon, and rosemary. Pour just-off boild water into a glass or metal bowl, let sit for about 30 seconds. make a tent with a nice heavy towel and have the congested one sit under the ten, breathing in the vapors. Make sure the water isn't TOO hot, or the delicate mucous membranes could be singed. Make sure to have a handkerchief ready!
This has worked for him every time I've made it for him.
Very nice recipe.
Making this today
AWESOME
Your kitchen must smell very interesting! 👍
Ty
I will make your recipe 😉
I will try it 🙏✝️🙏
Thank you Heidi, I'll be making this to add to my farm-a-cy 🥰
I've been told that adding alcohol to boiling water evaporates/reduces/removes the alcohol which is why it's safe for children and pregnant women. Thoughts?
The thing with this particular blend is t he alcohol is what gives it its numbing affect and boiling it would destroy the benefits of the honey making it nothing more than sugar
I think you may have misunderstood what I was asking. Does adding it to hot water destroy/nullify the alcohol?
@@KarnivoreKaren Ah. sorry, you meant ADDING boiling water, just adding hot water would not remove the alcohol, you would have to boil it to remove it, which would not be desirable for this. But back to my other reply, if someone is trying to remove the alcohol, then they would be better off to just make something similar without it such as just blending the lemon and honey (1:1) add the spices and allow to extract for at least a few weeks to get the most from those spices.
I’ll be making this thinks
❤
Hi love your videos I am studying herbalism. If I do not drink alcohol what can I substitute the alcohol with?.
Great vid
I don't have the ingredients for this but I think I will need to go shopping. I don't know if I could handle the whisky though so maybe I will go with the rum. Is the cloves and star anise just for flavor? I don't care for cloves and I have never had the star anise so I probably won't use those. Thank you for the great information, I have a nice stock of herbal remedies thanks to you.
No, none of the spices are just for flavor and in one part of the video I believe I mentioned that the star anise is very good for preventing and curing flus. In fact, the synthesized version of the compounds in start anise are used in Tamiflu
