This syrup is a good way to treat coughs especially when added with other herbs specific to the ailment at the time e.g. Echinacea to boost immunity, Elderflowers to break a fever or Thyme to kill a virus in it's tracks.
You will need:
Some cherries (washed and without stalks)
Sugar
Water
A saucepan
Empty bottles
A funnel
A jam strainer or muslin cloth
I used a recipe off my friend Karen at Sensory Solutions who uses Mrs.Grieves age old trick of a pound of sugar to a pint of water. The more water you use the more syrup you make but ideally you'd have at least a pound of cherries to your pint of water as well.
1. Wash your cherries in a collander.
2. Put your sugar in the water with the cherries a bring to the boil.
3. Keep it moving until the sugar has dissolved.
4. You may wish to start squishing the cherries against the side at this point.
5. Leave until the water has gone dark red/black or boil down to the amount you wish
6. Strain into a jug and allow to cool, composting the left over cherry skin and stone. Once cool transfer to bottles. I recommend you use glass bottles or plastic ones which havnt been used before. I tried reusing a bottle which had had thyme and liquorice syrup in and it contaminated the entire thing (not necessarilly a bad thing though!).
Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
ReplyDeleteUp to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet began to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with diseaseSo I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com www.drituaherbalcenter.com if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
