You don't have to spend a lot of money to get over a cold. It's likely that you keep plenty of natural health cures in your home already-you just don't know it yet! Many people think that all they need to get better is to go to the store, buy some medication and hooray! The impending flu has been foiled! So much time is wasted trying to decide between all of the over the counter medicines that are available when you could start healing immediately by choosing one of the many natural remedies already sitting in your cabinets.
Peppers can go a long way toward helping you heal. If you want an easy way to boost your immune system is to eat bell peppers, which are great sources of vitamin C. Cayenne pepper can make you healthier as well and it can really clear up your sinuses. Cayenne pepper in tea or in other foods can help you breathe and can cause you to sweat which will help bring down a fever. Another reason to "take" cayenne pepper when you are sick is that it will cause you to sweat which will help you heal. Make some salve. Salves are useful because they can help break up congestion in both the sinuses and in the chest. Salves have a long history of success with healing the cold or fighting the flu because they are made of ingredients that have healing properties. While it is technically an over the counter item, Vicks vaporub is a fantastic salve with many healing and soothing properties. 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.
Echinacea has been a popular natural health item for more than a decade now. The trick to ensuring the success of Echinacea it's important that you take the supplement as soon as you begin to feel sick. As soon as you feel those symptoms start, take a capsule or two of Echinacea and you might be able to ward off the flu completely. If you're already in the throes of a cold or the flu, taking some Echinacea can help the healing process along and lessen your symptoms. About 1200 mgs per day while you're sick is enough to help you get better. Take 400 mgs 3 times a day to get the recommended dosage; do not take them all at once.
