    Nutritional Information

    • Overall this home remedy has anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial anti-inflammatory, antioxidant (prevents damage to tissue during illness), expectorant (clears mucous) and anti-parasitic properties.  The onion, rich in quercetin, is a potent anti-oxidant and is rich in b vitamins.  Garlic is a potent anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic food.  Raw honey has antibiotic properties & adds a moistening quality to this elixir.  Capsicum (Chilli) is a vasodilator.  It increases blood flow.  Both chilli and ginger improve absorption of the other ingredients. Cinnamon Bark & Clove break up biofilm[i].  Nowadays the excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in the appearance of biofilm resistant diseases.  Biofilms have multiple characteristics that make them physically, and genetically resilient to antibiotics.  They are implicated in many chronic conditions as well as super bugs or resistant viral and bacterial infections. 
    • Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) – is a non-alcoholic solvent for extraction of herbs and a natural preservative.  It moderately manages blood glucose levels, has some probiotic properties and is a great digestive support particularly in the digestion of fats.
    • Orange Peel which is abundant in hesperidin (beneficial effect on blood vessels) is also antiviral  especially against the Herpes simplex HSV 1 & 2 virus.[iii]  It is a natural decongestant helping to remove mucous from lungs and has anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine properties[iv].  Lemon Peel has many similar benefits.
    • Horseradish – Anyone who has sinus congestion should experience the power of horseradish for clearing the sinuses. Its heat thins mucous and helps elimination.  It grows quite well in Ireland although I don’t think it’s so easy to come by as a powder.
    • Turmeric – Anti-inflammatory, Curcumin, will be enhanced with the use of ginger and cayenne.  Inflammation is the body’s natural response to infection whether it’s bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic.  In acute infection e.g. Human Corona viruses (hCoVs), elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine responses result in acute lung injury[v]. This is known as cytokine storming.  Curcumin blocks cytokine release and most importantly the key pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1 & 6[vi].  Turmeric also has some anti biofilm activity.
