Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Cayenne pepper aids in breaking up and moving congested mucus. Once mucus begins to leave the body, relief from flu symptoms generally follows. Honey reacts with the body’s fluids to make hydrogen peroxide, creating an inhospitable environment for bacteria.
