Your Home is Your Pharmacy with Hava Levi
Hava’s Home Remedies to prepare you for the cold/flu and strep season
“To health or help to heal also includes peace and NO FEAR.”
~ Hava Levi
As we embark upon the “sick season” - cold, flu, covid, strep - We invited our home remedy guru, Natural healer Hava Levi, back to tell us how to treat at home and expedite healing when viruses make their way to us.
The most important lesson and reminder for all of us is to LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.
The number one question we should always ask with any symptom, illness, or disease is WHY?
If you remember from our last episode with her, you will know that the second question we should ask is, Did you poop? 💩 Many illnesses begin because of stagnation and your body not detoxifying like it should. Per Hava, “The hardest part is cleansing, removing mucus from the body, not the sickness itself.”
We will let you listen to our conversation about SIMPLE, DOABLE, INEXPENSIVE natural remedies for strep throat, cold and flu, and constipation that you likely have in your kitchen right now. We love her passion for healing, helping, and empowering others…you can feel it when she talks, and you can’t help but smile as you listen.
🌿Here are some herbs and supplies to have on hand, followed by some recipes that Hava graciously shared with us and y’all as well so you can be prepared for anything that comes this season.

RECIPES
*These are recipes sent from Hava. This is NOT medical advice. Please check with your doctor…if you trust him/her…😆
SORE THROAT/STREP THROAT
Ok so the basic recipe for the strep…In Natural Healing we deal with a very simple combination of herbs. This is a very valuable formula that has saved us hundreds and hundreds of dollars in medical expenses and gotten us over these kinds of conditions quickly.
🧄Here's the formula:
One tablespoon of pure honey
¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Four cloves of garlic pressed through a garlic press
Those are the proportions, but you'll need more than that, so take 1/4 teaspoon of honey, one teaspoon of cayenne pepper and sixteen pressed cloves of garlic, and mix that all together. Take ½ teaspoon to one teaspoon of the formula every 30-60 minutes.
Don't wash it down - let the honey coat the throat, then the cayenne, being a rubefacient, will bring blood into the area, and then your immune system will be stimulated with the garlic. Garlic is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral, so anything that may be causing the sore throat the garlic, along with the cayenne, and the honey coating the area, will take care of the problem.
🫖TEA:
Slippery elm or marshmallow root tea, or even flax seed is amazing to soothe a sore throat. It can be given to newborns, children, all walks of life.
Take 1 tsp of ground herb
Add 1 cup boiling water in a mason jar.
Cover and shake for a couple minutes.
Add honey and serve. (*note, no honey for babies under 1 year)
Can add cinnamon if desired.
🍲SOUP RECIPE from Hava…
Onion soup (great for cough, cold, flu, sore throat , fever)
Ingredients:
2 T Olive Oil
4 large yellow onions - thinly sliced
1t salt or miso
½ t dry mustard
1-2 dashes of thyme
4 cups of water.
2 T Tamari or Shoyu (optional)
2 or 3 cloves of Garlic. Remember to always add garlic before serving
Directions:
Add Olive Oil, onions and salt into kettle or dutch oven. Cook over medium heat for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mustard and thyme, stir and cover. Reduce heat to low - continue to cook slowly for about 35 minutes. Onions will be exquisitely soft and simmering in their own liquid. Add water, Tamari, or Shoyu. Simmer for about ten minutes. Taste to adjust seasonings. Reminder! Press garlic into the soup after removing it from the heat (just before serving)!

Just think...let your body cure its woes on its own and do not interfere. That's what colds and flu do. I do like having high potency cayenne tincture to use everyday for heart/artery health. 1,000 times safer and more effective than any statin or heart drug with no recoil or worries. It's the most remarkable herb especially at 150-200 KHU (thousands of heat units).
Love the recipes!! Thank you
