LOH #201 : HERBAL REMEDIES FOR COLD, SORE THROAT AND INFECTION

Recently, I wrote a blog about how people are beginning to neglect natural herbs, to subscribe to ready made medicines. These days, all people are trying to do in our contemporary world is to get immediate results and cure. For instance, people are not ready to treat the cause of an ailment right from the source but rather they subscribe to an immediate separation from the pain and the bad side about this is that for that moment we may be relieved but when this source of that element is not taken into consideration it will definitely come back and then we will start running helter again to start from the beginning.

One thing I have come to realize as a woman who takes her health seriously, is that research has made a kind of conclusion that people are susceptible to different kind of ailment given the kind of environment we live in. Hence, it is important to treat an illness right from the source, take for instance we have been advice severally that whenever we have body pains or headaches we should not immediately subscribe to taking over the counter medicine or pain relievers rather the individual should be conscious of the things that he or she does because stress could be the dominant factor for the headaches. Thus, to tackle these kind of illness. For me I get a warm bath and then place a cold towel over my head while I rest back.

Another home remedy I use when I have cold is a mixture I learnt from my mother and overtime it has proven healthy and beneficial to my body system. It is a very simple hehelpsconcussion that involves the use of natural spices or herbs such as ginger, garlic and honey. All I have to do is boil the ginger and garlic in water, while this is done I could mix it up with honey or not and drink it while it is warm. As we are all aware ginger has natural properties substance antioxidants and anti inflammatory properties that helps with cold and sore throat. This can also be useful to relieve menstrual pain.

Finally, another home remedy that helps me to fight off infection is the use of apple cider vinegar this is very simple to prepare because you all you have to do is buy the acv from the supermarket one that has to do with "the mother" and then mix it up with warm water. it is very good in building up the ph level of the body and also fighting of infections.
