AH-CHOOOO!
It’s that time of the year again: cold and flu season. Good thing you don’t have to suffer for much longer! These home remedies can help alleviate even the most nagging cold symptoms. While they may not be able to cure the common cold, they may be able to provide relief and help you get better faster.
HONEY
Honey is one of the most well-known remedies for coughing and sore throats. Give your immune system a much needed boost by mixing honey, lemon, hot water, and ginger. This soothing tea contains ingredients that have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that may help your body fight off disease.
SAGE
Everyone should have a few herbal remedies in the arsenal when it comes to battling a cold virus. Sage in particular can provide relief from coughing or sinus congestion. Use dried herbs to make a cup of sage tea, which can help you get rid of mucus and soothe any headaches or fevers.
ELDERBERRY
Elderberries contain Vitamin C, antioxidants, and other powerful nutrients that your immune system needs. Drink elderberry juice to relieve your cold symptoms and strengthen your body’s defenses.
REST
Above all else, your body needs down time in order to heal. Make sure that you’re not pushing yourself too hard and that you’re getting plenty of sleep. If your symptoms worsen, you should consider seeing a doctor to make sure that it’s not more serious.
