Cold and Flu

I had a few minutes tonight to surf the web. With three kids and soon to be four we get a lot of cold and flu bugs going though our house. I found some interesting home remedies. One was to put wet socks on. I don’t even like the thought of wet socks. Another one was to wear a necklace made of garlic. That would be very attractive in both looks and smell especially at a Christmas Party.

There is no cure for a cold or the flu. You can treat the symptoms and aid your body to fight off the virus.
Canadians spend $300 million on cold and flu products to do just that and most mask the symptoms.

Stay home and rest in bed. I don’t think anyone does that unless that are so sick they can’t get out of bed. The virus would not spread so rapidly if us human would stay home.

Drink plenty of fluids and not the alcoholic kind. Water, fruit juice, tea with lemon and honey, frozen fruit juice are all great drinks. The fluids will help loosen mucus and prevent your body from becoming dehydrated.

Gargle with warm water a few times a day to relieve a sore throat. Mix one cup of water to 1tps of salt and gargle.

The best thing to do when the cold and flu symptoms start is to stay at home away from work and school. Eat Chicken Soup. Meditate “I’m living in a healthy body” Uses the bathroom a lot. Make funny sounds using your throat. Last thing is to use our Cold and Flu products to help the body fight off the virus.
