Power House Garden Remedy
I have three remedies that I depend on to keep us through the winter. One of them is my garden remedy. All ingredients but two came out of my garden. The odd ones out are turmeric and ginger. I have tried to grow them, but our growing season is just too short, even in my greenhouse. I love that most everything in this concoction was grown in my garden organically.
I waited until just before a hard freeze to harvest my horse radish. It is a key ingredient in this antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial remedy. I gathered a bucket of roots, but left a few in the ground to grow next years roots.
I add onions, jalapenos, garlic, and raw homemade apple cider vinegar. The vinegar is last years because we haven't juiced apples yet this year.
I strained a batch that has been incubating for a month or so. Here you can see the difference between the new and old batches.
While it doesn't look pretty, my mouth waters like crazy while I am making it! We finished the last bottle a week ago and my boys are ready to have a new one. They know that it keeps them healthy. With everything they are involved in, they can't afford to get sick. Swim season has started and they have serious plans. Since starting massage therapy school, I don't have time to get sick either. We will be making this part of our daily routine.
