Kicker for a Head Cold

QueenDanceALot — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 21:37:10 GMT

Woke up Friday morning with a head cold - stuffed up head, cough, scratchy throat.

Ugh. Instead of going for the horrible stuff from the drugstore which makes me crazy I decided to try a "natural" approach.

1/4 cup hot water

1/4 cup Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Scant 1/4 teaspoon ginger (or entire 1/4 teaspoon if you can take the heat!)

Scant 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne (or entire 1/4 teaspoon if you can handle it!)

1 tablespoon local, good quality honey (none of that mass produced junk!)

1/4 fresh lemon squeezed

Stir and drink while it's warm, 3x a day.

I can't believe how quickly it worked to relieve my symptoms and I'm just about brand new.

I also have been taking zinc carnosine twice a day and a few drops of OIl of Oregano under my tongue (YOWEEE!!!) 3x a day.

Went to a New Year's Day Party yesterday and felt almost like my old self!

I gave up on OTC stuff.

I stick with this as my main go to:

I also like a eucalyptus and peppermint oil mix on a warm wash cloth. Helps open things up.

I also like calendula tea. It's an anti-inflammatory.

Ah, yes, I use the NeilMed, too. Been using it twice a day, along with the Super Drink.

And I have been putting eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, and tea tree oil on a tissue and inhaling. Haven't needed that today, though, as my Super Drink has really opened up my head.

@QueenDanceALot Maybe you ought to call and give your remedies to the Queen. She's still sick with her cold.

@QueenDanceALot I second the use of oil of oregano and the YOWEE!! Use it for allergies and it's great for so many illnesses!!! I always have it around now.

I'm trying something different this year. When anyone felling like they are getting a head cold I've been giving them an allergy pill. Poof it's gone. Seams like we go weeks and weeks with running noses and coughing. Thought I would try something else and low and behold it work. Hopefully it might work for you.

I used to use it daily, just a few drops as a supplement, or when I felt "something" coming on. Then I just let it go by the wayside.

From all I've read about it, it has powerful antibacterial AND antiviral properties.

Maybe it worked because what you've had were allergies, not a cold. Symptoms can certainly be similar.
