A lot of folks came back from rallies with coughs and congestion. It's getting cold in some areas, we still have colds, flu, and Covid to manage.. One of my most recommended and easiest to use kitchen remedies for coughs and congestion is simply orange peel.

We don't bow.
We don't kneel.
We don't take the bait.
