This incredibly powerful tonic comes from a well-respected herbalist and functional medicine practitioner, Chris Kresser.  Many of the ingredients here have been shown to be antimicrobial, antiviral, and helpful in improving immune system function.

Ingredients:

• 1 to 2 lbs of ginger root, juiced
• juice from half a lemon
• large tablespoon of raw honey
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 6oz hot water

Directions:

1. It is easiest to use a juicer to make the ginger juice.  If you don’t have a juicer, you can grate the ginger into the water.
2. Add 2-4oz of the ginger juice, lemon juice, honey, and cayenne pepper to the hot water.
3. Drink 2-6 cups of this combination per day.
4. The extra ginger juice can be stored in jars and refrigerated.
