Ginger, Peppers and Basil Leaves

Ginger, Peppers and basil are the best antibacterial & antiviral agent that works to get rid from common cold with fever. You should make a herbal tea with these ingredients as follows -

Take 20 to 25 fresh basil leaves, 4 grams of ginger juice and one teaspoon of pepper powder. Mix these ingredients into 250 ml of pure water and bring to boil on a slow temperature. Boiling this mixture until it would become half in quantity. Then add some milk and sugar into this to make it testy. Filtering it and drink when it becomes lukewarm; just after that cover him-self with a sheet at least for 15 minutes

You should use this remedy twice in a day and repeat this procedure at-least for two days to get rid from cold, cough, fever, neck pain, headache and Malaria.
