This is the time of year for colds and viruses. Cold, Damp winters can make it especially hard to recover. I thought I would share with you some helpful natural remedies that have worked for me throughout the years. This is in no way intended to replace medical advice from your local doctor. Just some natural remedies that may help you heal more quickly.
My first go to remedy for first sign of cold is Colostrum. I have used this instead of anti-biotics for over 15 years now and have found that most often I can turn a virus from becoming an infection simply by taking this at first sign of cold or flu. It boosts the immune system to give you that extra punch to fight back.
Second - Echinacea. This seems to cut down the time it takes my body to fight a cold or virus. Works great for clearning sinuses as well as helps with clearing infections in the lungs.
Third - I up my vitamin C levels. Sometimes I have actually experienced a full healing in 24 hours if I up my vitamin C levels . Vitamin C with Zinc is even more powerful to fight colds and viruses. I normally take 1000mg a day of vitamin c, but when I'm sick, I will take up to 10,000 mg. I will take 1000mg every few hours until I feel it kicking in. Its a very cheep, but powerful remedy against colds and viruses.
Fourth - I cut back on mucus producing products like dairy. Milk, ice cream, and cheeses are all mucus producing so it can symptoms if your already stuffy. I dont normally eat these foods but for those of you that do, try just taking them out of your diet for a few days and see if it helps.
Fith - warming the body. You can do this in several ways such as baths, hot tubs, warm clothes, sunshie, etc. My favorite way is to make a cup of ginger tea. This is especially helpful if I've had a stubborn cold for a while. Warming the body with Ginger Tea can help it fight it from the inside.
Sixth - I find that fasting on soup, fruits and vegies and fresh juices can give my body a break, help me detox and fight infections faster. It is a true rest for me, that seems to make a great deal of difference in the time my body can heal from a cold or virus.
Seventh - Rest. I know most of us dont get enought of this, but resting the body, letting it heal on it's own time, is sometimes all we really need. Go to bed earlly!
Eight - Drink pleanty of liquid. I prefer water, hot tea, and fresh juices for extra vitamin C. Drinking hot lemon water is also good for clearing mucus.
These are just natural remedies that have worked well for me over the years, and again, not intended to take the place of your medical doctors advice or the place of medication. I hope they will be helpful. For more information on Natural Healing Concepts, please visit my website at Naturalhealingconcepts.com.
