You’ve been feeling a little funny lately. It is easy to write the little tickles and sniffles off as nothing major and by the time you accept them for what they are, the illness has become very real. Instead of reaching for the medicine cabinet handle, look around your house-you probably have all sorts of natural health remedies in your possession already. There are more options out there than what you’ll find on your pharmacy shelves. If your doctor has given you specific instructions for curing your illness you will want to follow them, but why not try out a natural health method first?
Peppers can help in more ways than one. 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. Using cayenne pepper in your cooking is another great way to boost your health (and clear out your sinus passages). 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. A good way to help your body start the healing process is to eat some cayenne pepper, which will heat up your body and make it sweat, which is how the germs and toxins in your system are released.
Blowing your nose can be done incorrectly-did you know that? Blowing your nose correctly is important because if you don’t you might stay sick for much longer than you have to. To blow your nose correctly, close one nostril while you blow gently through the other nostril and then switch side. Be careful not to blow your nose to hard! If you don’t blow your nose carefully you could cause yourself further distress. You could end up giving yourself an earache. It doesn’t take long to get used to blowing your nose, even if you hate doing it now. Not blowing your nose (and only letting yourself sniffle) can lengthen your cold or flu. Don’t forget about washing your hands to get rid of the germs!
Eating and drinking foods that contain ginseng is also smart. Ginseng can be found pretty simply: you can buy diet supplements, foods that contain it and there are plenty of ginseng-based teas available as well.
It is a good idea to stock up on ginseng and ginseng foods while you are well so that you are prepared if a cold or flu invades your system. Drink some ginseng tea if you feel like you are starting to get a cold. In addition to the aid for your immune system, the hot tea can soothe a tired and scratchy throat and even soothe your sinuses. Herbal remedies and natural help can be wonderful ways to combat the common cold and flu. Are you sure you want to toss back over the counter medication when there are healthier and simpler remedies available? Instead of running for the antihistamines and decongestants, run for your teas and your bottles of water. Most importantly, to give your natural healing methods time to work, you need to get lots of rest!
