Lemons are rich with Vitamin C and have many uses for natural treatments since they boost the immune system response and are great antioxidants. Very simply, squeezing one lemon into a glass of warm water each morning can help alleviate symptoms of the common cold as well as assist in preventing it. A little honey can’t hurt, especially if you have a sore throat.
Ginger is becoming more and more popular these days since it is a great immune booster and antioxidant. Ginger candies, soups, drinks and teas are flying off the shelf and have also become a common ingredient in various juices and cleansing routines for many health and wellness companies. It’s recommended that approximately ten grams of ginger can be cut and boiled in a cup of water and then strained to make a quick remedy for soothing results of the common cold. Variations of this ginger tea can also include adding some ginger to green or white tea after making a cup using fresh tea leaves as well as some honey for that sweet tooth or sore throat. Juicing ginger along with celery, beets, kale, green apple can also be a great drink with a rather quick and effective response to help get you through those first few days.
If you have any other simple remedies, please share for all our subscibers.
