Cinnamon

Only a small portion of as little as ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon is efficient enough to make a difference. In fact, too much cinnamon can cause various side effects.

Cloves

Ginger can be purchased raw and crushed to use in various recipes or used as a powder.

Cayenne

As an exceptional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, cayenne is already used in the production of many types of medication. However, this healing spice works great when used alone. It can combat a wide range of health conditions, such as arthritis, shingles, muscle and joint pain, and nerve damage caused by diabetes.

Holy Basil

The healing power of holy basil is a holistic treatment that has been passed down through many generations. Holy basil steeped into a tea has been commonly used in to treat both headaches and indigestion. Not surprisingly, recent research show that holy basil can also be effective at treating stress, which oftentimes causes both headaches and indigestion.

Ginseng

It is believed to boost the immune system and prevent such illnesses as the common cold and flues.

Garlic

It has been used for thousands of years to fight various illness, and is today considered a strong protector, fighting against numerous cancers, including ovarian cancer, lowering blood pressure, and reducing the size and number of colon polyps. Garlic also promotes cardiovascular health, by slowing down blockage in the arteries.

Sage

If your memory is not as sharp as it used to be, adding some sage to your diet may help to restore you mental alertness and memory. This has led many scientists to believe that sage may be very effective at preventing the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. However, what really gives this herb its healing power is its ability to maintain insulin levels in patients with diabetes.

Elderberry

Everyone at one time or the other comes down with symptoms of the common cold. While there are numerous products on the market that promise to cure the cold, a little bit of elderberry may be all you need. Taking a drink mixed with hot water and elderberry leaves and then steeped for 10 minutes, may be all you need to battle the cold this season.

While it is always good to check with a medical professional prior to starting any type of regular treatment, many of these herbs and spices may offer a safer alternative to traditional medications. This is because natural ingredients tend to have less types and intensity of side effects. However, each person will respond differently, so it is best to evaluate your reaction to each herb as it is introduced.

Ginger tea with honey is an antioxidant. I mix 1/2 tsp (2 grams) powdered ginger, 2 tsps honey, 1 tsp brown sugar & boil in hot water. I add a tiny bit of milk for flavor. Lemon can be used too.
