Natural remedies to stay hydrated during flu season
According to the NHS, colds and flu affect over 15 million people in the UK each year and the flu season of 2010 / 2011 saw pandemic levels of confirmed influenza infections. Our ancestors have created numerous tonics to increase our defences against cold and flu and with the help of BIBO - the multi-functional water dispenser, these are only a touch of a button away in the fight against flu this Winter.
For centuries ginger has played a stellar role in traditional Chinese medicine as a powerful tool against the common cold. Combining the power of anti-viral compounds found in ginger with the rind of one orange, this cocktail provides your body with a natural army to fight off that pesky cold. Simply boil cubes of fresh ginger for 20 minutes before adding the orange peel and simmering for a further ten minutes, strain and serve.
Lemon Balm tea is known to help eliminate toxins from the body and with BIBO you can make your tea instantly at the perfect temperature, meaning quicker relief from nasty symptoms.
Ancient Egyptians and the Romans turned to the pungent garlic herb for its strengthening powers and antibacterial properties that help our immune system to fight infection. Simply boil some water and add a couple of cloves of chopped garlic, and let it stew for 30 minutes, squeeze in some lemon, add some good quality honey, and treat your body to this powerful drink.
