​Are you looking for a natural way to fight a cold or flu? It is important to get plenty to drink and it is important to take in nutrition but you may not have much of an appetite. This broth is a great natural way to fight your illness and take in fluids. Its base can be vegetable, chicken, or beef. Here is the recipe for the beef based. Just change up the bones or use vegetables per your own preference. Check out my Super Veggie Soup for a great way to get nutrients in when you’re not hungry.

2. Water 1 ½ to 2 cups per serving
3. ½ small onion[1] per serving

This broth brings comfort and gives you fluids and electrolytes. The onions and garlic both act as antiviral and antibacterial. The horseradish is an expectorant and pain reliever and has antibacterial effects. The cayenne opens sinuses, detoxifies, treats fever, sore throat, and upset stomach. The heat of the broth thins mucus.
