Last week I wrote about ways to keep your stress level low because your health is important. As you can see with what is going on in the world vaccines are being created at an alarming rate to be administered to people, now some people may feel they have to take the vaccine whether they want to or not because of their health conditions. Therefore, it is important that you be in control of your health and take care of yourself. It’s important for you to take your health more seriously. I will share a few of my favorite concoctions below. There was a time in this world and there are some parts of this world that still rely on natural medicine. Natural & Herbal medicine is my first go-to; even my vitamins are plant-based because there are many benefits to using what God already created. When King Hezekiah was sick unto death, God gave him a natural remedy and that was to place a fig on his boil then he was healed. “In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ”Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Elohim, saying, “Remember now O Elohim, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And it happened before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of Yahweh. And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” Then Isaiah said, “Take a lump of figs.” So they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.2 Kings 20:1-7.”
Now I know God is a healer above all and natural medicine is the best. However, that does not mean I do not have Tylenol in my home because I do. I remember a day I was having a terrible tooth pain and I put clove oil on my tooth but the pain was not subsiding and had to take a Tylenol that night to go to bed and I went to the dentist the next day. So I say this to be transparent with you, so even though I would always choose God’s ways first, that does not mean you are guarantee not to go to the hospital or doctor one day. If you break a bone in your body, no amount of leaves place on that broken bone is going to heal it. Can God heal it? Absolutely, but you may still need to go to a doctor to place a cast on it in the meantime. I don’t want you to be a believer that exercise faith but don’t exercise wisdom and common sense. Learn to live in reality if you pass out and not responding the first thing people are going to do is call 911 and rush you to the hospital. No one with common sense is going to let you stay on the floor and sprinkle some garlic on you to wake you up; they may not have the time for that. Many people have passed away with being “too spooky” thinking they are being spiritual. “In all your getting, get understanding. Wisdom is the principal thing, Proverbs 4:7.”
The key is to not put your faith in the hands of modern-day medicine for your healing and health but that doesn’t mean God can’t use them as well. When God gave King Hezekiah a remedy, God himself did not come down and place the fig on Hezekiah, Hezekiah had to physically place the fig on himself. At the same token, if you weren’t able to physically do something yourself, someone else who have to and that person can be in a form of a doctor, a wife, a child, a sibling, etc. So don’t be so spiritual that you become stupid but exercise wisdom! Balance is key! Doctors, hospitals, scientists should not be your first and final choice in life they have their part to play and they may not be able to help you either. Just like the woman with the issue of blood it was not until she touched the garment of the Messiah because she had so much faith she can be healed that she was healed, no physicians could heal her. In fact, many in the bible the “physicians” could not heal them it was until the Messiah came and healed them then they were healed. So understand you have to exercise wisdom and have faith in God always and foremost. “And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about the Messiah and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And the Messiah, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”And he looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” Mark 5:25-34.

Flu/Cold Symptoms & Overall Health Concoction
When I used to live in a winter state years ago, I would always catch a cold every year. Thankfully, after learning what makes you more susceptible to colds I avoid certain foods during the winter months and would not get a cold anymore. Over the years I search and learn certain foods can keep you from getting sick or if you sick gets you to feel better. I thank God for all the natural resources. I come from a mother who is old school, so I have no actual measurements to provide. Even now when my mom cooks she put what she needs without measuring and it always comes out fine, I find myself doing the same. If you know, you want a big batch of these concoctions then add extra to get it to be a big batch; I will help you out a little with measurement.Ingredients
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Lime
- Lemon
- Distilled or Purified Water
- Raw Honey (If you are allergic to Honey-Molasses is a fine-but no regular sugar)
- Optional: Turmeric, and/or Cayenne Pepper *If adding cayenne pepper add very little as ginger already adds some spice.
Let’s say you are making a small batch, add 3-4 cups of water, peeled 1 ginger (if you can’t find ginger, the powder is fine), 3-4 peeled gloves of garlic, no need to cut them but you can smash them, 1 squeeze lemon juice, 2-3 squeezed lime juice. Put all ingredients in a pot to boil, once it comes to a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for 30 min-45 min. Add water when needed. If you are making a bigger batch just add extra of all these ingredients and let simmer for 1-2 hours. This concoction is meant to drink hot if you prefer room temperature that is fine but not cold and definitely not with ice! This is made at its purest level so it’s not meant to drink every day. If you are healthy, I recommend 2-3 times a month. If you are sick 2-3 times a week until you are feeling better. This concoction works quickly and is very powerful, so you might feel better immediately. Make sure to drink plenty of purified water as well. Make sure to rest, so it’s better to drink prior to going to bed. If you are not feeling well and drinking this concoction, please avoid all sugary foods, snacks, greasy food, and dairy as you need to allow your body to heal. You can’t be putting good and bad things in your body at the same type and expect to heal. You can also do a quick research on these ingredients and you’ll see all their benefits, they are definitely must-haves in your kitchen and garden!
