This is an easy and quick remedy for when you are sick, that I learned from my grandma. It will help you clear out all that mucus that your allergies have been causing, and residual gunk from the flu or common cold you might still be recovering from. It only requires 5 common household ingredients that you might already have stocked in your pantry. This is a necessity for your medicine cabinet especially during allergy season. So, let us take it back to our roots and make this quick and easy remedy.
They will work great with your Survival Farm that you most likely already have. There is no reason why you should not be able to use these homemade nature’s antibiotics.
How My Grandma Made Natural Antibiotics
This recipe has been used in our households for many years, usually accompanied by a fire cider or elderberry syrup. Both of which are great for your respiratory system and for boosting your immune system. I personally had struggled with a lot of illnesses this year due to working in the school system and this has helped me to boost my immune system more than anything I have tried. But let’s see what the ingredients are and what they’re good for.
- Honey: It has natural anti-bacterial properties and it also helps to soothe a cough and sore throat. It has anti-fungal properties as well. It is one of the oldest known remedies, the Egyptians used it as a skin protectant and natural antibiotic.
- Ginger: is a natural anti-inflammatory and has carminative effects that help your digestive system. Since it is such a strong anti-inflammatory it can help to reduce the symptoms and length of a cold.
- Cloves: is an anti-microbial, antioxidant and helps to clear your sinuses. It is also a natural antipyretic, so it helps to naturally reduce a fever. It has different compounds such as eugenol and flavonoids that help increase your bone density while increasing the mineral content too.
- Cinnamon: contains compounds with protective antioxidants and can help prevent sickness, as well as helping to thin out mucus congestion in the lungs. Cinnamon can help to kill fungi that can lead to respiratory tract infections as well. Like clove, it can assist in bringing down a fever. Put them all together and you will have the perfect flu/cold and allergy remedy, all in under an hour.
Grandma’s Homemade Syrup
Always start with a clean work space and go ahead and prep your ingredients beforehand. I prefer using dehydrated herbs due to them being shelf stable; fresh herbs will work just as well but you’ll need to double the amount. My grandma used to grow her own antibiotics in her backyard, by planting only these 10 medicinal plants. This specific recipe produces about one cup of syrup, you can always double the recipe or divide it. All the cooking and preparation time is less than an hour too, making it the perfect remedy when you are not feeling well. This time I put the herbs in a tea strainer, but my grandma always used a cheesecloth to strain the syrup at the end, and you can do that as well.
You will need:
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tbsp. dehydrated cloves
- 2 tbsp. dehydrated ginger
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. ground cinnamon (2 cinnamon sticks will also work)
- small pot or tea kettle
- measuring cups and spoons
- tea strainer (or cheesecloth)
Steps:
- Bring the water to a light boil on the stove.
- Once the water has come to a boil, lower the heat and place cloves and ginger in the tea strainer, or directly to the pot.
- Add tea strainer with ginger and clove to your pot, reduce to a simmer on low heat and stir in honey and cinnamon.
- Let the mixture simmer slowly for 5-10 minutes.
- Add in the sugar and stir until all the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Let simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
- Now remove the pot from heat, let it cool until it reaches room temperature, and remove the tea strainer (or strain the mixture using a cheesecloth if you added all the ingredients to your pot).
- Pour the syrup into a mason jar and store it in the fridge, or in a dark cabinet for up to a entire year.
How to Use
This syrup is the perfect remedy to the common cold and flu, and for getting some respiratory relief during allergy season. It is perfect to mix in a chai tea latte, or just as an accent to your favorite herbal tea. You can also take it orally- start with one tablespoon and go from there. The shelf life is one year, if it is properly closed and stored. Taking it as a preventive for common illnesses is a great way to use it as well, as the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants make an amazing immune booster. Due to the ginger in this it can also help ease slight nausea and bloating. I have started mixing it into my English breakfast tea in the morning to boost my digestion, and to unclog my airways.

The truth is, unfortunately, many INCREDIBLE home remedies were lost along the years. People are nowadays much more interested in taking a pill that could do so much long-term harm than treat common ailments with the power of what nature already gives us.
It is very easy to understand why books like the Forgotten Home Apothecary are so popular. A single book with over 250 powerful herbal remedies? Unheard of. You will never find this in book shops because big pharma wants you to keep buying their overpriced drugs.

Thank you!!!! What you offer is so important and valuable
Most of us had a granny who could do anything and
make most anything out of nothing.Back in the day
antibiotics were not available to the public but this is
not back in the day.
A wide variety of antibiotics are now being sold on the
open market.The shelf life of modern drugs is usually
a lot longer than what is posted on the container.
I worry that folks that are new to the world of SHTF
preparedness will get caught up in the idea of making
your own anything is cool.
When you or a loved one needs an antibiotic that has
a known efficacy it is not a time to whip up a batch of
granny’s potion.
A trip down nostalgia lane is always fun until someone’s
life is at stake.I’m sure that the author means well however
this is not the best information for the times in which we
live.
How about the times we may be in? How many thousands of years did the Indians thrive with herbal medicines?
Putting my full trust and my life into the hands of big pharmaceutical companies….For example the vaccine for Covid-19…..experimental none the less…did not do what they claimed it would do…killig many more….stupid politics…pharmaceutical stock holders…greedy doctor’s…..left a bad taste in my mouth….although i did get a sliver between my finger nail during that time period…and it became very infected….and i probably would have died if i did not get some good antibiotics from a doctor . But I’m still going to explore alternatives…As humans…we can do better…especially the elite population. i agree if you have it …use it by all means….ok the next time you fall into a killer bee nest….don’t even think about applying a plant poltice….run for your meds.
My My how did humanity survive all this time without having Big Pharma’s antibiotics? It’s a wonder any of us are alive. More especially survived and thrieved over the past 5,000 years without a pill. As a christian, I firmly belive that God put all of the required medicines all around us in nature. We just have to find them. Or better yet, stop looking to a pill for all our pains and illnesses. Why do you think Asprin is so cheap? Because it comes from a plant. Bottom line, humans would never have survived the first 100 years without natural substances to treat and in some cases cure their life threatening ailgnments.
Very true Richard Beasley. How did we manage? Medicines are all around us. I would hesitate pulling plants from neighborhoods where fertilizer, bug and skeeter spray has gone.
Many also died because they did not have a pill. It’s not that it’s a pill, it’s that it’s harmful to the body under certain conditions. Natural remedies are preferred, but when they don’t work, what are you going to do ? Mucus is caused from too high carbs, sugar or gluten eliminate carbs & sugar and the mucus will go away after being metabolized and excreted by the body, for some gluten as well.
I just went through a UTI but nothing worked 100%,DMSO helped lower the blood in the urine but did not take it away after repeated use, neither did MMS both in high dose and just got a bad case of diarrhea for several days and some nausea etc.
Colloidal silver high ppm-100 + @1oz + 1oz of aloe vera juice did take away the painful fiery urination and increased urine flow, cut down on blood in urine but not 100% effective.
Got a script for antibiotic and worked on the first day but did have to take it for several.
While the CS worked best, it was only a stop gap measure that did help but not treat the UTI. Without the script, it would be far worse. Natural remedies are better for prevention as a cure all, i have my doubts but they both have their limits, pros and cons.
If you have a sore throat, toothache, sinus problems try gargling with just salt and warm water as needed, also can be used as a nasal flush. No need for any expensive items, just a 4oz saline nasal wash bottle will do. You can use anything you feel comfortable with to clean out your sinus cavities, i like lugols iodine any strength you like i also don’t measure it just look for the water to turn a color i recognize.I also used it to stop a long-standing nose bleed after being forced to get a PCR test, the up the nose kind. My doctor at the time did not pick up on it or even ask about it just told me my blood count was low so would script iron, but lack of copper is the usual problem under normal conditions per an MD, did not run any tests for low anything except blood count. Amazing for people with extensive educations but no brains. A quote from a PhD,”Just because you have a degree does not mean you are intelligent” Notice how many useful idiots with degrees got the kill shot and died or were disabled from it & and still believe in viruses etc.

After reading all her FOIA request posts say you still belioeve in viruses or their was a real pandemic instead of it being a D.O.D genocide event involving the entire world in a genocide event to lower the population.
Exactly. God put a brain in our head to know better. But, none of these chemicals were around us until after 1850’s. Big Pharma and the Chemical Industry made sure we had a polluted environment and pills by the billions to take that no doubt have far worse consequences on our bodies and health than any minute amount of weed killer would have. But I do agree, we are living in a polluted environment but clean natural pristine land and plants do still exist just farther and farther from our towns and cities.
Good luck whipping up a batch of commercial grade antibiotics during TEOTWAWKI…..talk about witch craft…..Hum……
Probably lace with fentanyl…another gift from the government of China…..and our southern neighbors and northern neighbors ……
I’ll trust true and proven natural medicines that have worked for thousands of years before going all in on Chinese potions that are designed to kill you. Make no mistake, China is in a full scale war with us right now in every town in our nation and no one but maybe Trump fully understand it and believe it. Most keep on eating the food they send us and suck down their laced pills by the billions each year. So SHTF is here and everyone better wake up to the fact and stop thinking everything is going to be alright since Trump, my man, is in office. He can do only what the dark establishment allow him to do in and out of court. He will be shut down for the next 3-1/2 years. You are on your own. Best use the time we have left to get prepared.
Richard Beasley has BIG PHARMA DERANGEMENT
SYNDROME.
Ya, a little bit….I noticed that i have a touch of Demarcate Derangement Syndrome .It must be a off shoot of Trump Derangement Syndrome but not as deadly. The virus should… i forget the word…..morph…? into a less deadly virus so it does not damage the host so much….but still …being aware of it is a start to the cure….Just don’t ask Fauci to whip up a batch of virus juice for the Democrats to mandatory make us take in order to do our daily chores….☮
The recipe ingredients listed shows honey as the only sweetener, but the instructions say to add the honey after the cloves and cinnamon, then a few steps later, add sugar.
Personally if I want the benefits of the honey, I’d want to add it last and only when the concoction is warm as opposed to near boiling to keep honey’s benefits.
Could someone edit the text to account for the sugar?
Thanks.
Never mind. I see now the 1/2 cup sugar before the picture, and the rest of the ingredients later. Wish there were an edit button!
So where’s the alcohol? My little sister got drunk (she was 10 at the time) for drinking my great aunts homemade cold medicine.
Learning how my grandma made homemade antibiotics always fascinated me. Her natural remedies, often using herbs and health and wellness center plants, were surprisingly effective. It’s a reminder of the power of traditional knowledge and how, in some cases, nature provides the healing we need. I always appreciate the wisdom passed down through generations.
