Hello mamas, finally I got to know how it feels when your baby is sick because Edanur had a cold and congestion for the last 3 days, and yesterday she had my mom’s special anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory tea and I can’t tell you how quickly she got better mashAllah. Like overnight I noticed her cough was gone like 75 percent. She didn’t wake up at night from coughing. Such a relief I can’t tell you how bad I was feeling for her.
As you guys know, I try to follow a holistic lifestyle as much as I can so obviously I didn’t buy any famous brands of cold and cough medicines as they won’t come side effects free and I don’t want her immunity to suppress at all.
Give these to your babies in a syringe of 5ml if they don’t take them with a spoon and take them yourself as well and see how quickly they will heal. Sending positive vibes only 🙂
Ingredients:
- Ginger (anti-inflammatory)
- Cloves (antioxidants, anti-bacterial, for cough)
- Fresh mint leaves (for good digestion, especially if your baby refuses to eat)
- Black seeds (anti-inflammatory)
- Cinnamon ( antioxidant, anti-inflammatory)
- Licorice (best for cough)
Let the spices simmer in water for a while and give the tea to your baby with a hint of honey otherwise, they wouldn’t take it. You can also substitute honey with maple syrup but definitely don’t use any synthetic sugars. As we want to avoid sugars and conventional dairy so the mucus doesn’t build up. Edanur gets her raw milk from a farm which I’d highly recommend as well.
