Author’s note: I’m fighting a cold while writing this article. These three alkaline water recipes really work if you can’t stop coughing and your throat feels like it’s on fire!
Many, including myself, have been suffering from Bronchitis this Winter Season. According to http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com
, Bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages between the nose and the lungs, including the windpipe or trachea and the larger air tubes of the lung that bring air in from the trachea (bronchi). It can be very painful due to the intense cough and tightening of your chest. I want to share some of these soothing drinks – created by Katy Joy Freeman, Alkaline Lifestyle Coach, MFT – to help ease the inflammation.
Alkaline Water
Anti-Inflammatory Beverage Recipes
Tumeric Leche
Ingredients:
1 cup almond milk or non-dairy milk of your choice
2 tsp. Raw honey
1 tsp. Organic ground turmeric
2 tbsp. Ionized Alkaline Mineral Water
Directions: Place all Ingredients in a small saucepan and heat on medium. Whisk the turmeric leche mixture while it heats up so it gets a bit frothy. Once well heated, pour into a mug and enjoy. The turmeric is a wonderful natural anti-inflammatory.
Why nondairy? Dairy products are acid-forming and produce phlegm.
Cinnamon Delight
Ingredients:
1 cup Ionized Alkaline Mineral Water
1 tsp. Fresh organic ginger, minced
1 tsp. Organic ground cinnamon
Raw honey or Xyla to sweeten
Directions: Place ginger and cinnamon in a mug. Boil water. Pour hot water over the ginger and cinnamon. Sweeten with raw honey or Xyla. You can eat the ginger if you want.
Honey-Lemon Water
Ingredients:
1 cup Ionized Alkaline Mineral Water
Juice from 1 small organic lemon
2 tsp. Raw honey

Why alkaline water is best for these recipes
One of the biggest challenges your body faces as it works to heal itself from colds and flu is dehydration. This happens because you frequently encounter difficulty breathing through clogged nasal passages and must resort to breathing through your mouth. When you breathe through your mouth, you lose moisture at a greater rate.
Alkaline water hydrates better than plain water, it also enhances the absorption of nutrients that you take with it. Alkaline water’s superior hydration and absorption abilities help speed the soothing antioxidant ingredients in these cold- and flu-fighters to the places in your body that need them the most.
