Soothing Honey Lemon Tea

Honey lemon tea is one of the greatest DIY home remedies when you’re feeling a bit under the weather. This home remedy is perfect for when you feel like you’re coming down with a cold or even the flu.

All you’ll need to do is boil some water and pour it in your favorite mug. Then squeeze about half a lemon into it. Next, you can add about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of honey depending on how sweet you might like your soothing honey lemon tea! 

Hydrating Hot Lemon Water

This DIY home remedy is similar to the honey lemon tea, but without the honey! This is great to drink in the morning because it’ll really help to detoxify your body, as well as delivering hydration and vitamin C.

It’ll also help to maintain the pH balance in your body. Just boil your water, pour it in your favorite mug, and add a squeeze of lemon juice!

Warm Towel For Sore Throat

The next home remedy is amazing for when you have a sore throat. All you’ll need is 2 longer dish towels or even a pair of long socks, and a safety pin. First you’ll get one of the socks or towels damp and heat it in the microwave until it’s quite warm (but still cool enough that you can comfortably touch it). 

Then you’ll wrap this around your neck and cover it with the dry towel or sock. Safety pin it in the back and relax while you watch your favorite show and/or sip some honey lemon tea! You could even sleep in this and you’ll wake up feeling much better.

The warmth of the towel around your neck will bring the blood flow to your sore throat and help to heal it quickly!

Breathing Eucalyptus/Tea Tree Oil For Sinuses

If you’re struggling with allergies and congested sinuses, then grab some tea tree or eucalyptus oil and a cotton ball! Put a few drops of the essential oil onto the cotton ball and then put it up to your nose so you can breath it in.
