Frequent changes in the weather can be particularly challenging for those with weak immune systems or low natural defenses. To support the body during these times, I recommend preparing a natural syrup using simple, healing ingredients.
Ingredients
Onion
Garlic
Carrot
Ginger
Lemon
Honey
This blend is often called a natural “phlegm remover” due to its powerful effects on the respiratory system.

Health Benefits of Each Ingredient
Onion
Raw onions are packed with valuable compounds, particularly quercetin, a natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibiotic. Including raw onion in the syrup maximizes its healing properties.
Ginger
Ginger helps to thin out mucus, clear the airways, and ease congestion. It also offers pain relief, lowers fever, and fights bacterial infections. As a strong expectorant, it assists the lungs in expelling built-up mucus.
Lemon
Lemons, like garlic and honey, are excellent immune boosters. They also carry antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Their essential oils, pectin, malic acid, and citric acid help reduce dry coughing, loosen mucus, and soothe throat irritation.
Garlic
Garlic acts as a natural antibiotic, largely thanks to its high allicin content. It is effective against chesty coughs, high fevers, chills, and sore throats that often accompany viral infections.
