Cold Remedies?

Question

ANy good home remedies for a cold? ANy good immune system boosters....thanks

Answer 1

I am happy to recommend EarthClinic.com. I followed a cure for a sore throat and it worked using cayenne pepper and apple cider vinegar. I was on the verge of getting the flu and this web site saved me. Basically the answer is apple cider vinegar. This kills bacteria and boosts the immune system. The cayenne pepper worked on the sore throat and cleared my sinuses. I made a tea with these two and added honey and lemon and wow what a miracle. Your nose wont be stuffy after drinking that tea. It truly is amazing!

This is my tea:
1 cup boiling hot water
Sprinkle a nice amount of cayenne pepper (very important!)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (very important!)
1 tbp honey
squeeze about 10 drops of juice from a lemon
add a herbal tea bag for taste (Traditional Medicinals Tea is excellent)

PS: After this, I will never go back to buying medicine for a cold ever again!

Answer 2

A great remedy for anytime you start to feel is this simple tea, which is used in Ayurvedic medicine as a detox for the body:

Chop 2-3 cloves of garlic and 3-4 inches of fresh ginger root. Pour boiling water and the juice of one lemon (preferably organic) over these two items. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. Strain and drink the water.

This is a very powerful tonic and you will feel better the next morning. Garlic is one of the most powerful herbs on the planet. It has strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Likewise, ginger also has antimicrobial properties and boosts the immune system. Lemon juice helps clean your body out.

I take this tonic once a weekk in the winter to avoid colds; if I feel an illness coming on, I have this every (or every other) night until I feel better again.
