Create a Potent Homemade Natural Antibiotic with Apple Cider Vinegar, Ginger, Turmeric, Garlic, Horseradish, and Honey

You’ll need:

1. Apple Cider Vinegar contains Malic Acid which is an antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and also supports energy production which increases mental and muscle functioning. It strengthens the immune system and regulates the acid/alkaline balance.

It also aids the digestive tract- if the apple cider is organic and unfiltered (see: How to make Apple Cider Vinegar at Home – easy) it will contain small amounts of ‘mother’ colony (bacteria and yeast) which is an amazing probiotic. More so, it is known to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels.

2. Fresh Hot Peppers contain capsaicin (The hotter the chili, the more capsaicin) a substance known for keeping immature fat cells from developing into full-fledged ones (Burns off FAT cells) and for boosting metabolism. It also contains Vitamin C (helps the immune system) and a wide range of B Vitamins. A study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that adding hot chilis to daily meals protects against cholesterol (forming) in the blood.

3. Garlic contains allicin, an antibiotic and anti-fungal compound that protects it against pests. Allicin helps treating sore throats, colds, flu, poor digestion and it is a potent antiseptic and antimicrobial agent effective against many types of infection. Above all, it really helps your immune system and you won’t be caching colds that easy. (see: How to make Medicinal Pickled Garlic)

4. White Onions contains Quercetin (just like Allicin for Garlic), a substance known for its health benefits. Quercetin is an effective anti-inflammatory agent (study in the journal International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology). Quercetin has been found to relax the airway muscles and may provide a relief when caching a cold (or for asthma symptoms). It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting the body against free radicals and boosting your immune system.

5. Ginger has a long tradition of being very effective in alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal distress. In herbal medicine, ginger is regarded as an excellent carminative (a substance which promotes the elimination of intestinal gas) and intestinal spasmolytic (a substance which relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract). Modern scientific research has revealed that ginger possesses numerous therapeutic properties including antioxidant effects, an ability to inhibit the formation of inflammatory compounds, and direct anti-inflammatory effects.

6. “Horseradish Root juice or sauce (extracted from horseradish root) has been used effectively to relieve sinus discomfort. The traditional treatment for sinusitis is to “take a half teaspoonful of grated horseradish sauce without dilution both morning and afternoon. Do not drink anything or eat for at least ten minutes after the dose. There will be a powerful feeling in the head, followed by a sensation of the sinuses clearing, sometimes accompanied with sweating and perhaps tearing.

Due to its antibiotic properties, horseradish can also be used to treat urinary tract infections (UTI) and destroy bacteria in the throat that can cause bronchitis, coughs and related problems. Additionally, horseradish stimulates the body to eliminate urine, so bacteria or other inflammatory agents in the bladder may be flushed out sooner than they normally would be eliminated.”

All the tips for having orchids always in bloom

Oncidium orchids captivate with their multitude of small blooms, often unfurling in a stunning display that can last for weeks on end. Their color palette is diverse, ranging from sunlit yellows to pristine whites, passionate reds, pastel pinks, lush greens, and earthy browns.
What sets these orchids apart is their distinct floral structure. Regardless of their color or shape, one consistent feature is the orientation of the bottom petal, which stands perpendicular to the side petals.
This particular arrangement evokes images of a twirling dancer, leading to the orchid’s affectionate nickname as the “ballerina orchids.”
Exploring Orchid Diversity
The orchid family is vast and diverse, with hundreds of species flourishing in the warmth of tropical and subtropical zones. From the mist-laden heights of the Andes to the dense foliage of Jamaican rainforests and the vibrant valleys of Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, these orchids find their homes.

The genius trick to get two orchids from one plant

What’s better than an orchid to make the house bloom in winter? You can have 2 for the price of 1, let’s find out how! If phalaenopsis is so successful, it is thanks to its ability to adapt to the constant temperature (between 18 and 20°C) of our interiors.

Have an orchid at home

It is satisfied with a bright position  , without direct sunlight, less than one meter from a window. And, what’s more, he likes to be watered and fed at the same rate in any season! However, with a little attention, you can widen your choice to other genera: Zygopetalum, Oncidium, Miltoniopsis, Cattleya… These orchids have swellings or pseudobulbs at the base. These produce leaves and accumulate reserves from spring to autumn to flower in winter and stop their growth. You must therefore reduce watering and eliminate fertilizer when the profusion of flowers could tempt you to do the opposite!

Excess water is the main cause of   orchid death. Their roots, like sanitary pads, absorb the liquid even if it is too much for them! You need to give them time to dry and learn how to dose by weighing the crop pot: if it seems light, water it, if it seems heavy, wait.

Don’t forget to feed your orchids   : all year round for phalaenopsis and from spring to autumn for the others. A simple method is to add fertilizer every 15 days to the watering water, alternating one fertilizer for growth and another for flowers.

This is why you should start putting salt in the fridge

Using salt in the refrigerator and around the house for various purposes is a practical and cost-effective approach. Here are some additional ways you can utilize salt for household tasks:
