If you feel symptoms of anything respiratory coming on, or even just to boost your immune system, you can make this tea that I discovered years ago with these ingredients. Actually, I believe it was Stacey, gumpsgirl, who told me about it. Is she still around here? I just had some yesterday.
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with "the mother"-the sediment that you shake up contains vitamins and minerals
Lemon Juice
Raw Local Honey ( honey from local pollinator bees helps with allergies you may experience in your area)
In mug of very hot water-
Stir in 2 Tablespoons of ACV with "the mother"
Add a teaspoon or two of lemon juice, more if you like
Add a Tablespoon of local raw honey. If you can't get local, do use raw honey as pasteurization kills a lot of the good stuff.
You can add a packet of stevia sweetener if you like or sugar, whichever you prefer.
I have not had a cold in many, many years that I felt I needed this, but I had it yesterday as more of a immune booster than anything else. It's soothing, at the very least. And you can add more honey or other sweetener if the tartness of the ACV bothers you.
You could even just do honey and lemon tea and add less ACV if you prefer. We need to remember the old home remedies that really help, I think. Same as the elderberry helping when commercial meds don't.

My parents live up from a hot spot in Pinellas county florida (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater) Hudson county , where my parents live has a few deaths now. Hopefully my parents will stay put and not need hair cuts and a doggie grooming.
