Formula:FLU SEASON

Tincture of Garlic or Onion Tincture of Garlic or Onion (This is a good basic syrup recipe for coughs, asthma etc.) colds and flues. It is natural sulfa enzyme's and works muck like the copy-cat sulfa drugs in the same way.
I wouldn’t believe this formula worked except I was coughing my head off one day bronchial asthma) and happen to be in the health food store and asked the clerk for a cough syrup natural remedy. She referred me to the one in the fridge that was this one. When I got home I looked it up in my herbal books. It was from one of the herbalist in my area which was one of my teachers. Sure enough I had the formula in front of me. His original company I no longer make it up. When you make a formula up there's always too much and time. This formula I've reduced down and simplified it, and tested it. http://thenerdyfarmwife.com/my-favorite-cold-flu-tincture/ another method I've use too.
This is not the formula below. (Note: my style is holistic, not just one part of the body)
This company were a much better company when they were small, the owner is now deceased. So for those who want this basic tincture, it’s yours for the making.

It's my pay-day to help you. This page is to show you herbal formulas are another method of cooking plants (herbs.) This page is to help the needy who don't have funds for Doctors or hospitals. The over the counter cough syrup are not working...read the lastes new or TV news. It only comes once and is gone and people forget the uselessness of children's flue medications today..
Tincture of Garlic or Onion (This make up a Syrup of Garlic or Onion)
+1 lb. of minced or chopped garlic cloves
Equal parts apple cider vinegar and distilled water sufficient to cover the garlic (*Or/and Onion which is weaker but great for children and in the orginal formula. Get the stronger onions.) Garlic presses are great.
* PERSERVITIVES to store longer; 1 pt. of vegetable Glycerin, (if stored longer.) Added glycerin at the very end, you'll need to strain the concoction. You can add stick a cinnamon, clove oil, or any oil to cover the taste, however, will not smell this on your breath.
Or, optional, (cloves) stick the brown bottle at the time when stored. . (Also, you could use grain Vodka alcohol and/or Apple Cider vinegar is used in making of tinctures) I don't store mine a long time so I just use Bragg's Apple cider Vinegar.
(You can add lemon juice, ginger, cinnamon, clove and parsley to help with the odor if too offensive too. It's your formula. Lemon cut the mucus in sore throats and adds vitamin C.) Add the parsley before adding the honey etc., afterwards, throw it away or chop some of it in the concoction after straining in Tupperware plastic strainer. Their holes are smaller. Strain again through good quality paper towels. This is very slow, other ways can be just as effective like, cheese cloth etc.
*3 lbs pure honey (last min. add)  (I'm going to add because of econimal issues other organic sugars will work (Agava i.e.) I've cut down on the amount of honey...and don't forget to add this at the end...Do not strain honey...
Place the garlic into a wide mouth jar, cover with the vinegar (or, acahol) and water; close, shake occasionally; allow to stand in a cool place for 4 days, Your macerating the formula...(shaking thoroughly)
1 -2 times daily_shake and allow to stand another day; strain with pressure and filter through muslin or thin linen cloth; add the GLYCERINE or one of the other perservitive, and honey and stir until thoroughly mixed; Seal in dark jars tightly and store in a cool place.
Dosage: 1 tsp. – 1 Tbs. 3-4 times daily between meals Uses: Asthma, bronchitis, catarrhal conditions, phthisis, tuberculosis, coughs, dyspnea, heart weakness, internal ulceration and so much more but this gives you the idea. Look up properties of Garlic. Garlic is a good medicine and can be used for other ailments. Use the onion for the cough's is my suggestion.
(Their are ways to take the stronger garlic pungent odor out. Work with the vinegar first with caraway, cloves, fennel seeds, cinnamon stick is storage container, macerate, strain, then add the glycerin-honey.) I do not mind the taste with out all the extra herbs.
My style is to add a carrier herb (catalyst), like lobelia tincture, a very intelligent herb, which knows what to do to assist other herbs where to go like a general. The lobelia tincture or choose another; use strained ginger root (also a catalyst), too, (and so is cayenne). These are all optional. Catalyst herbs move herbs quickly through the body and good carriers of other herbs. A good herbal formula has a catalyst in its composition. Memorize these three and use one in all formulas.
*You can do this with stronger onion (especially for the children) as well as garlic.
It's doesn’t seem as strong but don't under estimate it, I’ve used this myself a lot. I only like fresh garlic in season or onion, not green through it as in the spring. Use fresh garlic or the stronges onion when it isn’t available.
*FOLK REMEDY: An onion cut in half left in a sick room will absorb the germs of the illness. I learned this from a real old timer who had lots of experience. Open a window let fresh air in and some sunshine in the sick room.
*Remember in during the flue or illnesses to use the fast, semi-fast or use mild foods which or any plant based diet. Animal protein stops elimination of toxins, use it not when sick. You have to assist nature in the process of healing by getting the debrey out of the area that's sick. Watch the tongue. When the tongue is white the liver is eliminating disease out into the blood stream. Diseases build up when this process is continually halted by too much animal protein.
*Colon: Keep bowels running with fenugreek and others herbs will work, watch the liver marsh-mellow herb and other herbs will work. Careful not to clog up the pipes (such as the stomach, bowel, kidney) assisting the body in its normal elimination process. Don’t forget the “w-holiest” approach is to drink lots of liquids, lemon aid, lime aid, etc. It just as important for the Kidney in this approach by treating the whole body and every major organ that keep your car running.

*Dr. John R. Christopher School of Natural Healing use to make up a similar formula. I've simplified it at time when needed: to brown the chopped onions in the oven low temp. and macerate them in ACV same amount of time lastly add enough honey to sweeten. I heard of a lady who hollowed out an onion then filled it will honey-vinegar and use it that way?.... His son owns the company now and may have discontinued the product. Check it out their web site I've referred to on the side. He still has his book on the market (Amazon.) Its basic book to have hand and rfor many other good herbal reference to your library. I have my old lessons books that I purchased from Dr Christopher before his son got into copyrighting his materials that I used today. I paid for the courses, pamphlet's and the right to use them. http://shermsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2009/12/h1n1-or-mad-cow-disease.html sorry taken out, too many copycats; Google doesn't me but one cent a day. Not worth my time. http://toughertimestoday.blogspot.com/2010/12/comfrey-formulas.html In our family we grow our own comfrey. So easy.
Home made cough syrups are so much better than over the counter with drugs/chemicals.

*Approx. 1000 mg vitamin C each hour always with a full glass of pure water.
*Tonic teas: such as, Comfrey, Red Clover Blossom, Alfalfa Mint, and Horse Tail, etc.
