Curing Your Cold With Natural Health
by on Dec.11, 2011, under Uncategorized
Most of us head straight to the pharmacy when we get sick. For most of us, heading to the pharmacy for an over the counter antihistamine or decongestant when we feel sick is a habit. What if you could break the habit?
What if you didn’t even have to leave the house to find a cure for your cold or flu? Who says that you need to leave the house to find a cure for your cold or flu? There are lots of natural cures for your illness. Also, you should seriously have a look at the Ninja 1100, I love it. Read these Ninja Kitchen System 1100 reviews for more details, we love making organic smoothies with it!
If you’re looking for a quick natural health remedy, try some peppers. Bell peppers are a great source of Vitamin C and chopping some up and putting them into your sauces and sandwiches can help you beef up your immune system so that it is ready to fight off cold and flu germs. Cayenne pepper is another ingredient that is great for colds, flues and your sinuses. Add some cayenne pepper to your tea to help stimulate and relax your sinuses so that you can breathe easier. Using cayenne pepper when you’re sick is a fantastic way to induce a sweat which will help your body force out all of the gross toxins and germs that are causing your illness.
Getting rid of your toxins is easy when you eat garlic. If you want to get better fast, take 500 mgs of garlic thrice daily when you have a cold so that the garlic can really do its job. A 500mg supplement gives you about the same amount of garlic as one clove. If you eat three meals per day, each meal should have at least a clove of garlic in it or you can take a supplemental tablet. Garlic is readily available; you can by clove flowers of garlic at the store for low prices or a bottle of the spice pretty inexpensively. Don’t carry your 1500mgs a day intake longer than five days. If your symptoms haven’t cleared up by then you should call your doctor.
Echinacea is a very popular supplement for people who want to keep the colds from advancing too far. As soon as you start to feel a cold or flu hit you, take some Echinacea so that it will do its job. If you take Echinacea as soon as you feel symptomatic you could keep the cold from taking hold at all. Even if your cold is already going full force, taking an Echinacea supplement can offer you some relief from your symptoms and speed up the healing process. Getting better only takes about 1200 mgs a day for a few days. By taking 400 mgs thrice daily you’ll get the recommended dosage but don’t take all 1200 mgs at once or you could make yourself worse.
When you get a cold you can choose something besides spending money on pharmaceuticals. To help yourself fight off illness and to get better when you do get sick, forego the chemicals and choose the natural health cures that are already in your kitchen. You don’t have to waste so much time and energy and money at the pharmacy so why do you continue to do so? Natural health cures are better for you!
