It is all too common for people to seek medication first when they get sick instead of trying to cure it naturally. It is common for people to look to over-the-counter medications to cure all of their illnesses. What if you did not have to do this?
Did you know that you probably have everything you need to feel better in your cabinet? What if you could help yourself feel better without having to leave the house? There are so many natural healthy ways to cure your ailments!
Peppers
If you’re looking for a quick natural health remedy, try some peppers. 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. Another great cooking item for your health is cayenne pepper, which is fantastic for your sinuses. Putting cayenne pepper in your tea or in other foods can help stimulate your sinuses which will make it easier for you to breathe. Cayenne will also help heat your body up so that you can start to sweat out the germs and heal your system.
Chicken Soup
There are elements in chicken soup that make it a good cure for the common cold-even scientists will admit it! Many people find that eating some chicken soup when they first feel sick is all they need to feel better, which makes sense because chicken soup is full of ingredients that are beneficial for your system (the vegetables and nutrients and the chicken are really good for you), so it is only natural that you reach for the soup first and the over the counter medications last.
Garlic
If you’d like to keep the toxins from setting in at all, eat Garlic. To get better quickly, take 1500 mg of garlic a day and wave goodbye to your cold! A 500mg supplement gives you about the same amount of garlic as one clove. The easiest way to get the garlic you need to get better is to either take a supplement or to cook a clove of garlic into your food three times a day. Garlic is readily available; you can by clove flowers of garlic at the store for low prices or a bottle of the spice pretty inexpensively. Don’t carry your 1500mgs a day intake longer than five days. You should consult your doctor if you are still very sick after five days.
Steam
Use steam! Save money and take a hot shower or bath instead of buying a bunch of sinus meds. The steam will help clear up your sinuses which will help you breathe. To get better you need to get lots of rest and the heat from the water will relax your muscles which will make it easier to rest. Putting a towel over your head and aiming your face at some steaming water is a good alternative to taking a long shower or bath. The steam is directed toward your face by the sides of the towel which also helps keep the water from cooling too quickly. Blowing your nose after breathing in some steam is far more productive than it would be if you hadn’t relaxed your sinuses first.
To stay well and kill colds before they start, use natural health methods to improve the performance of your immune system. Using natural health methods to treat your colds and flues helps to strengthen your immune system, kill your current cold or flu and to keep new colds and flues from attacking you. Your body will thank you for using natural methods to treat illness instead of simply throwing chemicals at whatever ailment comes your way.
