LETTER TO EDITOR: Asthma


Hi Kristie,
Thank you for these great videos. I am going to make the ginger syrup tonight. My dd is very sick and the congestion is getting worse so we are trying everything we can to avoid albuterol therapy. She is not asmatic this virus has just really weakened her usually strong system and the cough/congestion won't leave her chest/lungs. I am hoping the ginger syrup will help along with the other natural remedies we are trying. I am wondering how much honey I should add? And if I could use my vitamix to liquefy the ginger and water before straining? Or would that make the ginger mixture to strong or ruin it? I really appreciate your sharing your knowledge with us and cannot thank you enough for this recipe.
Thanks - CH


Dear CH,

Thank you for the thank you :) The proportion of honey is supposed to be 1:1 but I like it a little more gingery and less sugary so I just left it like it was at the end of the video. AFTER you make it you can add other tinctures to it as long as you keep it stored safely and you are aware of how much of the other substance is in there so you don't overdose someone on it. The regular portion someone should take of this is 2 TBS (for an adult) 3 times a day.

From the sounds of your dd it sounds like she needs THYME tea or an aromatherapy thyme rub on her chest (or marjorum or oregano). You can add three drops of one of those oils to a base oil (1 TBS base oil) and rub it on the back (if she's shy or doesn't want to rub it on her chest herself) and chest if possible.

You can also have her inhale the mist as you are making THYME TEA. Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 tsp. Dried thyme and as the aroma is coming up and the herbs are steeping for 15 minutes she can breathe in the vapors. Hope she is feeling better. Whenever I get sick it ALWAYS goes to my lungs so I know how she feels. Awful!
