Hi, a few weeks ago I read a few variations on a homemade preventative and cure for flu type illnesses.

I forgot to keep the bit of paper I wrote it down on. It went something like.....

Orange, Lemon, Honey, Ginger, Tumeric (I think that was the spice anyway) and there was other suggestions but can't remember. Can't remember how much of what either.

If it's for you add whisky

But star anise is the spice they extract the active ingredient of tamiflu from - only the ones grown in a specific region of china iirc, but ordinary star anise has anti-viral properties. Any good?
