Did you know that scientists have actually proven the health benefits of chicken soup? Instead of starting out with a pharmacy bought antihistamine or decongestant when you get sick, you should be reaching out for Mom's homemade chicken soup because the meat and vegetables contained in the soup are full of nutrients and minerals that you need to keep your body strong enough to fight off the cold or flu that is making you feel less than your best. For hundreds of years, ginger has been a favorite cure for the common flu. Almost everyone has some ginger on hand, whether it is in the form of a cooking spice or in the form of herbal tea. If you aren't feeling well, adding some ginger to your food or drinking some ginger tea certainly can't hurt you. The antiviral compounds will go to work knocking the cold out of your system and helping you heal. By adding ginger to your diet on a regular basis you can build a super strong immune system that will help defend against germs that try to make you sick.
Make tea. Teas that contain peppermint, yarrow and elder are fantastic remedies for people who suffer from a cold or from the flu. If you are into making your own teas, put some of all three in your tea bag and let it steep for a while. When you drink these teas you usually start to sweat, which is helpful in fighting colds and flues. Natural health cures are all over the place! Why would you fill your body with drugs when there is another way? This article does not advocate ignoring your doctor but does encourage you to try some natural health remedies if at all possible.
