It was used by many generations earlier, as a remedy for the blues and ailments.Today, honey is not only continued to be actively added to various medicinal and cosmetic products, but also used as a home treatment in combination with other components: milk, vodka, lemon, pepper, garlic.

A mixture of honey and vodka is widely used in the initial stages of a cold. It is very important to observe the correct proportions during cooking, so as not to cause harm to your body. Let us see what is so special that holds a cocktail of sweet molasses and alcohol.

To understand why this combination of components has a therapeutic effect on the body, it is worth sorting out separately with each of them. Honey is a unique antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory agent.

The use of vodka for compresses helps to cope with increased body temperature, because alcohol increases the rate of surface evaporation of sweat. It is known that alcohol preserves the substance that is dissolved in it.

We take a soft cloth made of natural fabric, dip it into the solution, gently wipe the following areas: under the neck, armpits, hands, forehead, behind the ears. Repeat many times as soon as wet areas dry out. Usually within an hour the temperature starts to decrease.

Pour all into a glass jar, add 1 slice of finely chopped lemon, 1 chopped hot pepper. Mix everything, close the lid, leave for a day on the table at room temperature.

Before use, the ready solution must be drained to get rid of particles of lemon and pepper, heated to body temperature. The lotion is superimposed on the area where the heaviness when coughing is most felt - either the larynx or the region of the sternum.

Place the compress abundantly greased with a thick cream to avoid burns. A piece of cotton cloth is wetted in a solution and applied to the desired part of the body. From above it is necessary to cover the area with a blanket or wrap it with a woolen scarf. Leave the lotion for 2-3 hours.
