Unique Home Remedies For A Cold.
It seems like the head cold is really making its rounds these days…whether I’m at the gym, at work or at home I can hear sniffling and sneezing (myself included). The nasal congestion finally made its way to my nose this week so I started to research home remedies, optimistically hoping to clear up my sniffles at a rapid pace without the help of DayQuil. I came across many homeopathic remedies; here are two that intrigued me the most. I’m sure to give them a try.
What are some of your favorite home remedies?
Tomato Tea Recipe:
• Add 1 cup tomato juice,
• 1 tsp chopped fresh garlic,
• 1/2 tsp of hot sauce,
• 1 tsp lemon juice,
• and a pinch or two of celery salt for flavor
Heat ingredients and drink hot. After drinking this recipe, your sinus congestion will disappear quickly. All of these ingredients not only work on the immediate symptoms, but add plenty of vitamin C to fight a cold, and garlic to fight infection.
Gin-Soaked Golden Raisins Recipe:
• Add 1/2 cup gin,
• 1 handful golden raisins
Put golden raisins in a shallow bowl and barely cover with gin. Soak for a minimum of one hour. Allow the gin to evaporate; then eat approximately nine raisins. After evaporation, nine raisins contain about one drop of alcohol. Gin soaked golden raisins is an old natural home remedy for head congestion. It is very effective and works quickly. Chew the raisins and the natural aroma of the raisins with gin will open your airways and relieve head congestion. Just eat in moderation!
