May Clove Recipe

Yogi Bhajan’s May Clove Recipe

cloves

For the Month of May Only

Spring is often a time of cleansing and processing, which in turn makes one more vulnerable to colds and flu. Here is a reminder from Gurusahay Singh Khalsa, D.C., about a remedy for the month of May.

Take a handful of cloves and soak them in room temperature water overnight. First thing in the morning, when you brush your teeth, take 3-4 tablespoons of the clove water (not more than 5–don’t overdo it).

β€œIt will save you from a lot of viral diseases. The month of May breeds viruses. Your ears, nose, and throat will be all right. Symptoms will almost not appear. It you do it every year, you will never fall apart.” – Yogi Bhajan
