Dear @Shaz51, I was taught a great recipe for a concoction for coping when I have the flu and I am feeling depressed as well. Please feel free to share it. A fantastic naturopath gave the recipe after 8 doses of antibiotics failed to work. Here goes....

Into a glass put a dollop of honey, the juice of one lemon, some fenugreek seeds, a small teaspoon of fresh garlic or bottled garlic, a small teaspoon of fresh ginger or bottled ginger, and some warm or hot water from the kettle or tap. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are combined. Gargle the concoction so that it coats your sore throat and swallow, if you wish. This combination is both antibiotic and it reduces fever and builds up your immune system. Unless you are allergic to bees, I can recommend it to anyone (though I would strain it for children to swallow).

I hope you are allowed to share this. The it next time you are feeling low.
