Have a cold? Just give me a brush!

1. A flu or a cold, we all suffer from it. There are many simple remedies that can be used for a flu or a cold. One of those remedies is the brush, a drink that can be taken when you have a cold. The effect in the people who take it appears to be quite different. Does it make sense to take a brush when you have a cold?

Home Remedies

1. There are various simple remedies for all kinds of illnesses, ailments and other inconveniences. Because you are not prescribed these by a doctor or buy them from a pharmacy or drugstore, but you can make them yourself, we speak in these cases of home remedies. Some home remedies you take in the form of food or drink, others require you to put something on the skin, do or refrain from doing certain things, and the like. The efficacy of many of these types of home remedies has proven themselves over time and they are gratefully used. With other home remedies, the evidence that they are effective is somewhat less effective. That is no objection, as long as you feel good about it, there is in most cases not much to say against it.

Cold or flu

1. In autumn or winter the natural resistance of many people is lowered. And that's when a nasty cold or sometimes even a flu is lurking. Of course you want to get rid of that as soon as possible. One of the remedies that can be taken for a cold or a feeling of flu is the brush, of which the variant with alcohol is called grog. An important ingredient of this is lemon juice.

How do you make a brush?

1. For anyone with a bad cold, following complicated cooking or brewing instructions is usually quite a task. Fortunately, making a brush is very easy. To make a brush you need the following:

And does it work?

1. Brush is a nice drink, but unfortunately does not help you get rid of a cold or flu virus immediately. It does not work as a cure for a cold or flu. However, if you made the brush with fresh lemon juice, the drink contains a lot of vitamin C. And that does help to strengthen your resistance, so that your body can better deal with the virus itself. Because you drink the brush hot, you also breathe hot steam into the lemon scent when drinking. And that can help with a stuffy nose or a dry throat. Because the brush has a sour taste due to all that lemon juice, the salivary glands and mucous membranes of your nose are also stimulated. You get the feeling that it is all coming loose, and that has an enlightening effect.

A brush, healthy and pleasant

1. Anyone who has a cold or a flu-like feeling should at least strengthen the body's own resilience, so that your own immune system comes into action to get rid of the annoying flu or cold virus. While a brush or toddy does not directly address the virus, it can help you feel better, experience more relief, and help build your own resistance. And a brush is also a nice drink. Why not give it a try?
