This recipe came from a Medical Herbalist in NSW, Susan Quin back in the 90’s. It is great for colds, sore throats, congestion, coughs and bronchitis. I highly recommend it, so give it a go!

10,000 years ago someone was looking at a baby animal feeding and decided, “I want some of that”, and so the history of dairy began. Refrigeration was a few thousand years off, so yoghurts, cheeses, and butter were born. When you mention dairy today, some of us think of calcium, others think of lactose intolerance and yet others think it’s the devil. Love it or hate it dairy foods are highly nutritious and have kept people alive for thousands of years. Today the recommendations for dairy foods vary with age and gender but in general for adults between 19-50, 2 1/2 serves per/day is suggested as a minimum. To put this in perspective one serve is as follows. • One glass of milk • 200g of yoghurt • 40g of cheese or 2 sandwich slices Now if you are lactose intolerant or just not a dairy lover the following foods are the equivalent to 1 serve of dairy; • 100g of almonds with skin on • 60g of sardines in water • ½ cup of pink salmon with bones • 100g firm tofu (check label as calcium levels vary) Dairy foods are packed with essential nutrients that are necessary for both a healthy immune, and nervous system, healthy eyesight and muscle growth and
repair throughout the body. Not only are dairy foods a good source of calcium but they are also a great source of protein, magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B12, just to name a few. Did you know that calcium absorption goes hand in hand with your Vitamin D levels? In other words you may be having plenty of calcium rich dairy foods but if your Vitamin D levels are low you will not be absorbing the calcium into the areas of the body where it is needed the most, and this can lead to various health issues throughout life. Oh, and one more thing, just because there is a glass and a half of full cream dairy milk in blocks of Cadbury chocolate, it is not considered a dairy food.
