The flu season may be in full swing, but why succumb to that miserable week in bed? We’ve got a couple of liquid tricks to share. 

Elderberry-Ginger Duo ~ we love the virus kicking benefits of elderberry. Have you tried it with a boost of ginger? These two pair up to send a bunch of ugly bugs packing. 

• A mug of hot water

• 1 Tbs. elderberry syrup

• 1 dropper full ginger tincture or 1 inch grated 

Bundle up and sip multiple cups throughout the day

• 1 cup Epsom salt

• 1 cup baking soda
