Home remedies for colds are safe, gentle and effective. They're great for uncomplicated, run-of-the-mill colds and better yet many of these remedies are available right in your pantry. A cold is a viral illness of the upper respiratory tract. It may lead to sinus infection, bronchitis, or other secondary infections that take hold when viruses lower your immunity. Treating a cold aggressively at the first sign of symptoms can help limit its severity or even stop it in its tracks. We need to reconsider natural alternatives that work as well not only having the habit of believing that fights flu and cold has to come in a pill. Here's the cold remedies that works.
- Breathe Deeply and feel Better. Inhaling steam helps decongest you because it gets mucus moving. Bacteria flourish when mucus gets stuck in your nose, sinuses or chest.
- Drink your Soup. It helps you keep hydrated by replacing fluids lost from a runny nose or from sweating when you have a fever. Steam that rises from a hot bowl of soup helps to clear a stuffy nose and sinuses as do optional hot and spicy ingredients such as cayenne or chili peppers.
- The Water Cold cure. Drink it, steam it, gargle with it and even sit or stand in it. When it comes to colds, you won't find a more time tested versatile remedy than water. Try drinking ten 8oz glasses a day which helps replace the fluids that lost.
- Garlic. Garlic cloves contain hundreds of active ingredients, including sulfur-containing compound such as allicin, that give it its distinct and pungent aroma. Try eating 4 to 8 garlic cloves a day(ugghh!) but if you can't do it, try mixing it with plain yogurt or cottage cheese.
After all, these home made remedies could give you a quick relief and easy on budget. But as the saying goes, Try to consult your doctor if symptoms don't improve after 5 to 7 days.
