My cold rages on...
It seems as thought the cold I've been fighting off for the last few days has taken hold but, I'm fighting back with loads of juiced garlic, my trusty neti pot & elderberry extract!
Freshly-crushed garlic. Garlic has powerful anti-viral, antibiotic and anti-fungal properties. Also a great immune system booster & kills parasites in the intestines.
Elderberry extract. Elderberry, a relative of the blueberry, has been found to have powerful anti-viral properties. Elderberry extract can be used to treat cold/flu. Sambucol is a popular brand (but mostly sugar). I take the tablet form - seems to work.
Nothing gets rid of that horrible nose tickle and stuffy stuff like a neti pot.... I started using one last year after a friend recommended that it would offer relief during allergy season. The idea is to pour warm water and salt through the nasal cavity to flush out excess mucus and debris... Neti pots have been used for centuries in India to help clear the nasal passages before practicing yoga. Flushing with salt water on a daily basis keeps your sinuses nice and moist and gets rid of irritants (and the yuck).
