Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Cold Remedies What can we do to help our bodies through the healing process? Here are some herbal remedies for your body and mind. Rose hip tea is full of vitamin C and can help prevent colds. Lemons, oranges, and apple cider are all considered to be cold remedies. For chills, take fresh gingerroot. Historically, the layers of the onion were believed to draw contagious diseases from the patient; onions were often hung in sickrooms. Today, we know that onions have antibacterial qualities. Cut up fresh garlic cloves and add them to chicken soup or other foods, or swallow small chunks of raw garlic like pills. Eat loads of hot and spicy foods like chilli to clear the sinuses. Like garlic and onion, horseradish generates lots of heat to help offset colds. According to one farmer we know, a daily horseradish sandwich is the best cold remedy out there! Prunes are rich in fiber, vitamins A and B, iron, calcium, and phosphorus. And they've been cured themselves! To treat sore lips, go to bed with honey on them. Troubled by cracked lips? Massage them with a dab of earwax (preferably your own!).
