Remedies for a Cold

I keep Cold-Eze and Airborne in my kitchen cabinet and take both at the first sign of a cold. I'm a teacher and work with little ones and they are forever sharing their germs with me. I can't afford to take off from work so I use these products, drink plenty of fluids, and make some home-made chicken soup and sure enough it cuts the cold in half. There is no cure for a cold, but you can take the wind out of it if you act right away. If you wait too long though, the effectiveness of these products lessen.

Hey RIML If you're going for natural- more fluids. I swear by Thera-Flu Nite Time it's the cure all to me when I feel the least bit bad any little bother & I run for the shelter of mother's little helper LOL +'s 2 U :D

If you have a fever, and only a mild one, cover up and sweat it out. Garlic and oregano is great for colds. Garlic is an anti-microbial and helps fight them when you get them. Oregano does sort of the same thing. Peppermint is great for sore throats, you can drink a peppermint tea, and if you'd like, add some honey because I read somewhere that honey has some great healing properties.

Whenever I have cold, I usually go out and buy a ton of orange juice and vitamin C pills. I drink as much water and vitamin C as I can and take tons of vitamin C pills all throughout the day, and usually by the next morning I wake up feeling way way better!

one easy way is daily breathing excercise. there is nothing more beyond this. another one is eat Tulsi leaves daily. there is nothing more than this. i did not get cold for the last 4 years.

My very own Tried and Tested COLD remedies: * Lotsa water intake... I always have my 1lit. refillable water bottle with me. * Sanitize my stuff and the entire house with Lysol. * Eat citrus fruits * I always bring 2 hankies anywhere I go.

My mum used to make a hot toddy that worked really well. It is pretty simple...a shot of scotch whisky, with a teaspoon of sugar and add boiling water. Drink it as hot as you can and get right off to bed. You will sweat like crazy but I always end up feeling better the next day.

hi girl, colds are because of having lack in vitamin C..so, need to intake fruits that rich in vitamin C..like, orange fruit or some that has in your table..you need also to have a good rest, don't go to places that has more dust, just stay inside the house, take a warm water with juice, it can really help you..or take medicine for your illness..hope i can help you...

Johnson and Johnson puts out a "Soothing Vapor" bath gel that I pour into my bathwater and soak in it. I love it. It not only softens skin, relaxes me, but helps to open up my nose. Look for it in the baby section.

drink lemon and you feel better.

I drink purple grape juice as soon as i feel like i might be catching a cold. It always seems to help i either dont get the cold at all or it only last a few days.
