I hate winter. The cold, the constant sniffles, dry and irritated skin, and the flu… the dreaded flu. The kind Ivohealth people recently sent us a hamper containing our favorite winter lip balm and the ingredients to create our own natural flu remedy.
A natural flu remedy, Letibalm and a giveaway
Honey, lemon & ginger cold and flu remedy
Ingredients
- 1 cup of honey
- 2 lemons – sliced
- a chunk of fresh ginger – sliced
Method
- Add the lemon slices, ginger and honey in layers to fill a glass jar.
- Place the sealed jar in the fridge for 12+ hours to allow the flavours to infuse.
- Add a teaspoon or 2 of the remedy to hot water and enjoy immediately. Make sure to stir the mixture well before using as the ingredients may separate.
- The sealed remedy can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 months.
- Feel better!
Letibalm
Letibalm came into our lives a couple of years ago and it has been a winter essential ever since. It’s actually been a year-round essential as I suffer with allergies.
Whether it’s caused by allergies, hay-fever, colds or flu, blowing the nose repeatedly can damage delicate skin leaving it red, chapped and sore. Letibalm has been especially created to protect and care for the lips, nose and the skin in-between. Originally from Spain, it’s the first balm of its kind and the only nose and lip repair balm available in South Africa. Letibalm gently moisturises dry skin, helps to repair painful cracks and calms irritation. It also creates a protective layer on the skin to prevent further chapping. Thanks to natural decongestants menthol and camphor, Letibalm also helps to ease breathing.
Letibalm is available at a recommended retail price of R69.90 from Dis-Chem, selected Checkers stores and independent pharmacies. It comes in 3 variants: Letibalm fluid (10ml tube), Letibalm (10ml jar) and Letibalm Paediatric (10ml jar – for children 0 to 8 years).
