Can somebody suggest home remedy for cold? I keep having a cold everytime there is a change in the climate. My Doctor says its because of less immunity?Even if I take Allopathic medicines, it takes time for me to be completely rid of the cold. Can anyone help me on how to prevent recurrence of cold? I would also welcome any suggestions to increase my immunity.

You can take more vitamins. Just get the multivitamins. If you smoke it makes your immunity go down. On cold remedy for couch and congestion that i heard of recently is putting vicks vapo rub on the bottom of your feet. i know it sounds weird but it works wonders. If you put garlic all over the bottom of your feet you will taste garlic in a half hour.

people usually get cold when their is a change in seasons;summer-rainy,rainy-winter.try eating garlic a day,it is known to boost immunity.hot fluids like chicken soup also help.take more of citrous fruitslike sweet lime or oranges.

Prevention is first thing forever. (1)Pay much attention to weather forecast and change your clothes timely. (2)Steam your nose with a cup of boiling water when you feel you catch a cold. (3)Dunk your feet in warm water every night before you go to bed. (4)Eat some garlic which is though as antivirus. (5)Steam room with vinegar. (6)Do more exercise is good to your health. Have a try.
