If you want to try natural foods that help heal the body, here’s a recipe I came across online and helped me when I had sore throat, cough and light fever last year. But you need to prepare and stock a jar in your cupboard since it takes 4 weeks to ferment it.
It’s made from regular foods we eat. ☺️ Below is the recipe.

Natural Antibiotic
Ingredients
1 quart size of glass jar
Juice if 2 lemons
1/4 cup garlic, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, sliced
1/2 cup onions, sliced
1/2 cup horseradish root, peeled & diced
1 cup ginger root, peeled & diced
Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
- Put lemon juice in jar
- Add 1/4 cup chopped garlic
- Add 2 chopped jalapeno peppers
- Add lemon juice
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onions
- Add 1/2 cup diced horseradish
- Add peeled and chopped ginger
- Pour apple cider vinegar, covering all ingredients inside the jar
- Add honey to taste
- If the cap of your jar is metal, put a piece of wax paper, cloth or clingwrap in between cap and bottle to protect metal from corroding.
- Put in cool dark place and let it sit for 4 weeks
After 4 weeks:
Take it out and use a sieve to strain it (since it has lemon juice, better to use a non-metal sieve). Though personally, I don’t strain it anymore and just scoop from the jar - just make sure to use a plastic or wooden spoon because there’s lemon juice. Using a metal spoon makes lemon acidic.
How to take it:
- You can take 1 tbsp or dilute it in water or add it to tea. You can also add honey if you want. With honey, please don't use a metal spoon as metal kills the enzymes. Use a plastic or wooden spoon.
- When you're feeling under the weather, or your immune system is low, or you're sick/fighting an infection, take it 3x a day or every 3 to 4 hours.
- You may also take 1 tbsp daily for maintenance - remember it's just made from regular foods we eat everyday.
