Let's Share Some Home Remedies For Colds Posted: 10-09-07 12:14pm
Any home remedies for colds?
One of my favorites is thyme tea + hot
bath, followed by lying down with my legs
up a wall. It's a gentle way to stimulate
and clean the lymph nodes. You can also
tap lightly on your breastbone (the
xiphoid process below where the clavicle
bones meet) with your middle finger for a
minute. It starts out feeling benign, but
in the end it can feel like Chinese water
torture. It's a good way to get those
white blood cells back into the foray!

Rest, rest, rest.
And strengthening the immune system with:
raw garlic, vitamin C, echinacea, etc.
Plus, I try to stop eating breads to clear
out my digestive system, which is often
the cause of a cold, in my opinion. A
clogged intestine is like a backed up
pipe, where viruses can breed.

Home Remedies for Cold Posted: 03-24-08 15:13pm
Home Remedies for Common Cold with Lemon:
Lemon is an example of a fruit that is
rich in Vitamin C.
It increases body resistance and reduces
the duration of almost all illnesses.
* To use lemon in treating common
cold, dilute one lemon in a warm glass of
water and add one teaspoon of honey. Drink
the mixture once or twice daily.
Treat Common Cold with Garlic:
Garlic contains antiseptic and
antispasmodic properties that help reduce
the severity of cold.
* Boil three to four cloves of chopped
garlic in a cup of water. Garlic in soup
form can help flush out toxins and could
also keep fever down. The oil in garlic
can also aid in opening up blocked
respiratory passages.
* Dilute five drops of garlic oil and
one teaspoon of onion juice in a cup of
water. Drink it two to three times a day
for best results.
Natural Treatments for Common Cold with
Ginger:
Ginger is one of the best remedies for
colds and coughs because of its active
health ingredients.
* Cut 10 grams of ginger into small
pieces and then boil in a cup of water.
Strain it and add half a teaspoon of
sugar. Drink it hot twice a day to treat
common cold.
Natural Remedy for Common Cold with Bitter
Gourd Roots:
Bitter gourd used to be a folk medicine
used in treating colds.
* Mix root paste with an equal
quantity of honey. Take it every night for
a month. This should make your body immune
from common colds for quite some time.
Remedy for Common Cold with Tamarind and
Pepper:
This home remedy originated in Southern
India and is considered very effective for
colds.
It is believed that the combination of
tamarind and pepper could clear nasal
blockages.
* To prepare it, dilute 50 grams of
tamarind in 250 ml water. Boil the diluted
tamarind with a teaspoon of hot ghee and
half teaspoon of black pepper powder over
heat for a few minutes. The solution also
creates a flushing effect on the cold.
