What Do You Do For Coughes and Colds?

Hi,

My young son had a bad cold start last Thursday so he had 2 days off school. I thought I had managed to get away with not catching anything.

However, woke up in the middle of the night with that 'Something is happening in the top of my nose" feeling.

So this morning I did my Energy Medicine routine, Crown Pull, Cross Crawl etc, tracing the meridians, followed by 10 mins of EFT focused on the cold symptoms and the emotions I feel in the body that related to it.

Then took a dose of Vitamin C, which I have been neglecting to take.

Wondering what you do when you get the start of a cold?

Best wishes

Peter

That sounds interesting Peter. I rarely have colds these days, but elderflower extract and cat's claw (una de gatto) taken intermittently are useful to keep bugs at bay along with a diet high in wholefoods, fresh fruit and veg.

My suggestions are 1000mg of vitamin C and zinc as soon as possible and twice again in the next few hours, and thereafter 3 x a day. Echinacea is useful too.

Some say [DLMURL="https://www.herbs2healyou.com/first-defense.html"]First Defense[/DLMURL] is good if you catch it soon enough.

Hi Peter,

Caroline has mentioned taking 1000mg Vitamin C a total of 5 x daily. If you don't already use it (you mentioned Vitamin C yourself), you might want to look at taking Vitamin C / Ascorbic Acid Powder, which works out to be cheaper and more convenient than Vitamin C tablets for such high dosages.

Thanks Wildstrawberry and CarolineN for the advice.

Always the better option to be healthier and less poor.

This is exactly what I do when I feel a cold or a flu coming:

• Water – The minute you feel the first sign of a cold or flu, start drinking a lot of water – Up to a gallon and a half for an adult.
• Hot Fluids and Chicken Soup – Hot fluids, such as hot water with lemon and honey, herbal teas and lots of homemade chicken soup help the body’s immune system and stop proliferation of the flu virus. But one cup of tea is not enough people, sip the stuff continuously until you can’t even look at it anymore.
• Chicken Soup Alternative – If you have no strength to make chicken soup (and no one else to make on for you); garlic tea is an easy and effective alternative. Garlic is a powerful anti-bacterial herb. Peel 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic and lightly crush them. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for another 15 minutes, strain the garlic and allow it to cool. Add raw honey and lemon and drink as much as you like.
• Remove all sugars and carbs until you are symptom free. If you haven’t heard the news yet, sugars are toxic, so stay away from them in the 24 hours.
• <a class="go2wpf-bbcode" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="Sambucol">Sambucol – This common natural remedy is and excellent defender again our arched enemy – The flu virus – And it’s safe for children too. It’s made of elderberry and it’s a powerful remedy for the cold and flu. I recommend keeping Sambucol at home always.
• Organic Oregano oil – This super-hero-herb is scientifically proven to be affective for ear infections, sore throats (even those caused by Strep.) and the flu. It’s very strong though, too strong for children, but an adult can have 1 drop of oregano oil in water every 5-6 hours.
• Vitamin C – Chewable Vitamin C is a great solution for kids that refuse all the garlic and onion-honey cough syrups. Vitamin C will boost their immune system and the chewable ones made for kids are tasty.
• Homemade Cough Syrup – This ancient remedy is still one of the most effective and speedy cough treatments. Wash, peel and slice (horizontally) an entire red onion (white is o.k. too). Cover the slices with raw honey and let it sit overnight. This will make you about a cup of nutrient-filled natural cough recipe that is completely safe for children. You can give your kids 1 tbsp every 5 hours and double for adults.
