That being said I have a few favorite recipes from older blog posts I have done as well as a round up from the web to share with you all today. It's time to get busy before winter is upon us, that way we are all stocked and ready for cold and flu season as well as that dry itchy skin that is a product of being indoors with a furnace running full blast or out doing farm chores in the bitter chill of winter.
I really like to make my own products, whether it be skin care, cleaning products, soaps, whatever there is some serious gratification in self sufficiency. That being said I also really like to be in control over what I am putting either on or in my body when it comes to products and medicines. I prefer to "go au natural" with my remedies for the common illnesses and to do the same for my family.

Please let me know if you too have a great herbal remedy that you use and make at home, maybe even one your learned from your grandmother...I know mine has talked alot about the old mustard plasters she had to endure as a child.

While the “Fire Cider” you have linked is ok, the REAL Fire Cider recipe from Rosemary Gladstar follows. It has quite a few more ingredients, and you can leave some out if you like, but doing it as listed makes the BEST and most POWERFUL anti-cold/flu/everything remedy!

Great round up of remedies! I love Comfrey salve, myself. As far as the Fire Cider recipe goes---Rosemary Gladstar's recipe is definitely wonderful. However, there is a LOT of leeway in this amazing tonic. That's why so many herbalists make it, use it, and adapt it to their own needs.
