Top 6 Home Remedies for cold and flu
I'm going to share with you my top seven home remedies to cure cold fast and I know when you have a cold there's nothing you want to do more then get rid of it really quickly. So what I'm going to share with you right now. Could help you eliminate your cold in 24 hours or less if you follow it exactly.So I'm going to go over my top seven home remedies along with a few diet tips here.over the next couple minutes the first thing you should start doing if you want to kick a cold fast is start consuming echinacea .In fact there are studies showing that echinacea can help you kick cut down your cold and flu time by more than 50% cut it down by a whole day and a half.So echinacea is very very effective and so I would find a good echinacea supplement start using that right away.
The second thing is elderberry or elderberry syrup elderberry syrup is loaded with antioxidants vitamin C and immune boosting properties.And so again elderberry extract or elderberry syrup is the best of the best and when you're buying elderberry syrup, look for a brand that doesn't really have much added sugar or any added sugar.It should just be black elderberry syrup is the best thing you can consume and I actually have all the things I'll talk about that.Elderberry syrup may be the most effective.
The third thing you need to get in if you want to cure your cold fast is vitamin C.I recommend a thousand milligrams five times a day and vitamin C improves circulation boosts your immune system.There are so many studies out there showing that vitamin C is highly effective and I look for a natural brand.A quality brand when you're getting that vitamin C but again a thousand milligrams.Five times a day of vitamin C is highly effective.
The fourth thing you want to consider doing in order to kick a cold fast is getting some garlic now you can do garlic capsules but I found the most effective thing to do is actually simply bite down on a garlic, clove once or twice and then swallow it or cut it up in small little pieces and then swallow it.You typically don't want to swallow the whole clove without biting into it or without. I'm cutting it because then those compounds aren't released as well in your system and garlic contains a compound called allicin which is a natural antiviral natural antibacterial and antifungal.So garlic will actually kill off the bad bacteria, the virus and the fungus in your system helping your body heal quickly.
The fifth natural remedy you should consume when you're wanting to kick a cold fast is oregano oil.If you've heard of oregano oil also called oil of oregano.Oregano is one of the most powerful essential oils in the world that can help naturally, heal your body and again oregano similar to garlic is going to help kill off the viruses, the bacteria, the parasites those things in your body that are causing you to be in the diseased state.So again oregano oil what I typically recommend is about four to five drops in water three to four times a day drinking that right down with a big glass of water is a way you're going to want to use oil of oregano.
The sixth thing you want to do is add in zinc so we talked about vitamin C earlier as a vitamin. Well the best mineral for boosting your immune system is zinc and so I'd recommend a hundred milligrams of zinc probably fifty milligrams twice daily of zinc.Zinc can really naturally boost your immune system, support your gut health but the big thing is it's going to support that immune response in your system.So getting some zinc in and last but not least along with zinc is consuming apple cider vinegar. I recommend two table spoons of apple cider vinegar in your water three times a day and apple cider vinegar has a cleansing and detoxification benefits.In fact I mentioned this earlier echinacea, when you do echinacea along with apple cider vinegar both of those improve lymphatic drainage and that's part of what the issue is.If you have a cold or flu you may notice that your lymph nodes are swollen when you can start doing the apple cider vinegar and the echinacea both that's going to really improve and speed up your lymphatic drainage and that's how for some people.
