Inspired by the last blog I decided to come up with my own Anti-Flue Juicing Recipes.
Here are some juicing recipes that can help treat the symptoms and causes of the flu –
Immune System Builder Tonic
The garlic and Vitamin A content help restore lost minerals and electrolytes to the body.
Handful of parsley
1 garlic clove

Bunch up the parsley and push it through the hopper of your juicer with the carrots and celery and drink immediately for best results.

4 to 5 carrots
2 stalks celery

The flu can make people dizzy either due to dehydration or to congestion. The following recipe contains ginger root juice, which is the classic remedy for dizziness.

1 medium carrot
Push all ingredients through the hopper of your juicer. Drink immediately. For optimum results hold the juice in your moth for a few moments so that the enzymes can accomplish their beneficial work.
Flu Prevention Cocktail

The key to getting a sick person to drink juices is to serve them with plenty of water in case the taste is too strong. Also drinking juices with small sips is better then drinking no juice at all if the person is having trouble keeping juice down
