Answer 1

There are eight natural remedies for Good Health these are:

(1)Positive Thinking/thoughts/attitude includes prayer, faith in God, Good, close relationships with yourself and others, LOVE, having a purpose etc.

(2)Pure, clean, fresh air- Daily

(3)Hydration with healthy fluids e.g. Plenty of pure water, herbal teas- avoiding fizzy drinks, caffeine, tea, alcohol etc

(4)Proper diet and Nutrition- Healthy, balanced diet and herbs- includes avoiding junk food such as sugar and fatty foods that lower our immune system and eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals such as plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables includes supplements e.g. zinc, vitamin C and Herbal remedies such as Echineacea

(5)Sufficient light or sunlight

(6)Moderate and Regular exercise- try it daily- releases endorphins and boosts the immune system aswell as lowering stress and anxiety levels.

(7)Proper rest and Relaxation- Leisure time- time to oneself. Good night's sleep- up to 8 hours a night- boosts our immune system- lack of sleep disturbs our immune system leaving us prone to infection. Rest doesnt mean sleep during the day it can include afternoon naps but usually means time away from the computer, just sit there in silence and stuff.

(8)Self-control, Temperance, Abstinence, Healthy Habits- Everything Good in moderation and avoiding the bad its all about balance of the good in life and avoiding the bad e.g. smoking, drugs, moderation of alcohol or avoidance and so on. Dont sit at the computer for too long, get out of the house more, socialise etc.

Other natural remedies for colds include nutritional supplements such as zinc lozenges, vitamin C, overall multivitamin- dont take too many, and take with water and with food- not on an empty stomach, take one remedy at a time. take herbal remedies if you want, just dont mix and match, see if one thing works and if it doesnt try another, dont take many things otherwise you will get ill even more.

Complementary therapies such as Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Ayurveda and so on also boost our immune system and could help with colds, go to see a massage therapist, or reflexologist, go to see a naturopath who can go through a natural health consultation with you.

Hope this helps, and you get well soon,

Answer 2

There's no "cure" for a cold as i stands, because the darned things are rhinoviruses. Virsues have several protein coats that act almost like armor and are hard to penetrate. By the time most paths of attack can make a dent and lessen the symptoms, the cold is almost over anyway. There are no magic pills.
However, both zinc and vitamin C have been proven to boost the immune system SLIGHTLY, giving the body a fighting edge. That's why Zicam is useful: when sprayed in the nose, if taken early enough, it interferes with the physical reproduction of the viruses and thereby shortens/lessens the process. Antihistamines are also
useful because they dry you out a bit while making you relax.
Other than that, the conventional wisdom about hot chicken soup is valid in that it offers nutrition and heat, but it confers no magical powers. You simply have to darned well respect a cold or the flu and GO TO BED. If you try to tough it out, drink soup, take pills and keep steaming around, you're making your body fight on 2 fronts, so it will often last LONGER and make you feel worse for an extended period as you infect others. So when you feel one coming on, take some zinc and C, eat something extra-nutritious like a veggie soup and REST. That's as close to a "cure" as you can come.

Answer 3

Since colds are caused by about 200 different viruses, the only way to cure it, natural or unnatural, is to let your body fight the infection. The best natural ways to boost your immunity are to take lots of vitamin C- supplemental tablets are good, so is Emergen-C drink mix. Garlic and onions are also really good, especially in hot broth, so that old adage about chicken soup isn't just an old wives' tale. Cayenne pepper is good to fend off the beginnings of a cold, but it probably works just as well at the height of infection. Get plenty of fluids, and most importantly, lots of sleep to give your body a chance to concentrate on fighting off the infection. Get well soon!

Get plenty of sleep, use a humidfier in your room and GARGLE WITH WARM SALT WATER every night before you go to bed.

Another key point is to avoid sweet or sugary foods and dairy products until you're cleared up. They both contribute greatly to your mucus supply. This is what I've been doing all my life when I start to feel one coming on. I am rarely sick, and not for very long when I am.
