Avoiding them by frequent hand washings.
If you wash your hands too often it can cause skin problems as well as weaken your immune system.Avoiding them by frequent hand washings.
What does everyone use to fight the common cold if they get it, or a family member does?
For example, when I am sick, I take astragalus pills, fish oil pills, I drink tea, use Vicks Chest Rub if my throat hurts, and I take Zinc tablets, etc.
If I get down I fast on a combination of lemon juice,maple syrup and cayenne till its gone, usually not longer than three days
I don't get them, I avoid foods that are mucus forming and cause the condition. The "cold bug" simply proliferates in the environment we have created for it and is deemed the culprit and usually exacerbated by poor nutrition.
That's why it's never been cured it's not a bug but a reflection of a state of health.
So lots of water a truly healthy diet a supplement or two and I never get sick. Come to think of it I only was my hands when they need it.
IMO
It's all to taste, you want a good strong lemon aide with just a touch of cayenne.What amounts of the lemon juice, syrup, and cayenne do you use?
Thats a big 10-4. The cold feels good until you wake up the next morning.we call those Hot totties Out Law Tank Welder but we take 2 asprin with them and cover up with a warm blanket and if you drink enough of them, well you just won't care about the cold anymore cause you'll be feeling pretty good by then. LOL
Chicken soup and Gatorade always makes me feel better after a while.Horehound throat lozenges, chicken soup with garlic and pepper, gatorade and lots of other fluids. Ive used baking soda as a mouth wash for sore gums as my gingivitus usually flares up before I get sick and it has helped for strep throat as a gargle for me at least. I also used apple cider vinegar when stomach viruses occur and havent had it in years.
