Cold's and Flu's Home Remedies

Treating colds and flu's with caraway seeds - This remedy is for a running nose. Roast 1 tablespoon of black caraway seeds and then blend into a power. Sniff a pinch of the powder a few times several times a day.

Treating colds and flu's with honey - Mix together 1 tablespoon of honey and 1/3 a teaspoon of turmeric powder. Lick this mixture off a spoon 3 times daily.

Treating colds and flu's with milk cream - Mix half a teaspoon of milk cream with a pinch of baking soda and take. Take this mixture 3 times a day to get rid of cold's or flu's.

Treating colds and flu's with onions - Peel and cut an onion in half. Grind or grate the half onion and mix in as much honey as you need to get it down. It's not very pleasant tasting but it does help cure a cold or flu.

Treating colds and flu's with Vitamin C - Vitamin C helps with cold symptoms including coughing, sneezing. The best source of vitamin C is always found in fresh fruit. Citrus fruit is very high in vitamin C and can be made into a healthy drink that will help fight that cold. Fruits that are high in Vitamin C include - orange, kiwi fruit, pineapple, seedless grapes, fresh ginger, banana, pink grapefruit and cantaloupe.

Treating colds and flu's with Zinc - Zinc can dramatically reduce symptoms such as a dry irritated throat. I would suggest buying zinc lozenges at the supermarket. These have a more pleasant taste.

Treating colds and flu's with Chicken Soup - Chicken soup is a long time remedy that is now a proven fact. A cup of hot chicken soup can help to unclog your nasal passages. What comes out when you blow your nose is the first line of defense in removing germs from your system.

Treating colds and flu's with Water - Water is vital in the healing of a cold. You must drink between 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. Water will help replace important fluids lost during a cold and help flush out impurities that may be preying on your system.

Treating colds and flu's with Salt - Use salt water to relieve an irritated throat by gargling morning, noon and night or whenever it hurts. Fill a glass with warm water and mix in 1 teaspoon of salt.

Hot showers - Taking a hot shower can help clear congestion. Alternatively you can place a bowl on the table with cover your head and the bowl with a towel. Add really hot bowling water to the bowl and inhale the steam. This will also help your cough by moistening your dry throat.
