The Amish are a traditional rural community of people living in the American states of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Their culture is known for tending to prefer natural remedies and alternative medicine.
Knowledge of alternative medicine among the Amish is mainly focused on medicinal plants that have been used for various diseases since ancient agrarian times. With their help they are often able to cure even such health problems for which strong pharmaceutical drugs must be used here. However, natural remedies are without associated harmful side effects.
One of the areas the Amish successfully treat on their own is lowering bad cholesterol in the blood and problems with high blood pressure. Today we will reveal their recipe for these two health problems.
Ingredients
To make this homemade remedy you will need the following ingredients:
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 piece of ginger root about 2 cm long
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of honey
Preparation
The preparation of the recipe itself is very simple:
1. Put all the listed ingredients except the honey into a blender and blend them on high speed for several minutes.
2. Then add the honey and blend everything well again.
3. Next pour the mixture into a glass bottle and store it in the refrigerator for 5 days.
4. After this time the homemade remedy will be ready for consumption.
Usage
The prepared mixture is a very potent medicinal remedy. Before using it you may (but do not have to) strain it if you do not like the solid remnants of garlic and ginger.
Take 1 teaspoon of the prepared mixture blended in a glass of room-temperature water at least 10 minutes before breakfast, dinner or another meal. However, consume it a maximum of 3 times a day.
After approximately a week of use you will notice a difference. Your cholesterol level and high blood pressure will decrease.
How does this homemade remedy work?
All the ingredients contained in the recipe are foods that themselves have strong medicinal effects. By combining them these effects are further amplified and a very potent remedy is created. Let’s now look at its individual components.
Honey is rich in calcium, potassium, sodium and B vitamins. These substances have a preventive effect on cholesterol.
Garlic is widely known for its medicinal properties. Among its main effects, aside from destroying bacteria and viruses, is its ability to improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure.
Ginger contains an enzyme which, when activated, improves the synthesis of good cholesterol.
Apple cider vinegar balances body pH levels and normalizes them. Lemon helps people who suffer from high blood pressure. It lowers it by softening the walls of blood vessels and increasing their elasticity.
Conclusion
All the mentioned ingredients, besides their effects on cholesterol and blood pressure, also have a large number of other positive properties. We will tell you more about those in our future articles.
