You've been feeling a little funny lately. You're probably trying to tell yourself that you aren't really sick but you probably know, deep down, that the flu has already set in. There are lots of natural health cures in your kitchen; there's no need to start popping medications. Using natural health methods to cure an illness is a fantastic alternative to trying to cure your flu with chemicals and drugs. While you will obviously want to follow all of your doctor's orders, trying a natural method of curing your cold before seeking a doctor's help might save you from needing to see the doctor at all!
Did you know that onions can help your health? One of the most famous cold and flu remedies is a syrupy substance made of onions and honey. Dredge some onion slices in a bowl filled with honey and let them sit. You need to take time to mix both ingredients together and then let it sit still through the night. If you eat some of the mixture every few hours for two or three days the cold should start to fade. You can also just add some onions to your food-they go well with just about everything! Make some salve. Head and chest congestion are no match for a well made and effective salve. There are quite a few salve recipes out there that are well known for their healing properties-the herbs and other natural ingredients used are good for the skin and your system and can be a great way to absorb the nutrients you need if your stomach is acting up. Though it isn't, technically a natural health solution, vaporub is a great salve to have on hand. You can rub it onto your chest, under your nose and even on the soles of your feet (make sure to cover them in thick socks) to help ease your breathing.
Tea is great when you have a cold! You want to look for teas that contain certain ingredients like yarrow or peppermint or even elder to help you deal with your cold and flu symptoms. Making your own tea with helpful ingredients is useful as well. These teas induce sweats which can help your body get rid of the toxins that are making it sick. Natural health cures are all over the place! There are natural ways to heal your cold or flu; you don't have to use chemicals or drugs to feel better. If you've been given a prescription for medication from your doctor you should take it but if you haven't been given any direct orders why not try the natural alternatives to your pharmacy aisle?
