Head Cold Remedies
There is nothing more annoying than having a head cold. I have learned over the years that while there doesn't' seem to be a cure for the head cold, there are certainly some remedies that do the trick. Now if you like taking medications go ahead and do so, but for me, I just don't feel better when I take cold medicine. Cold medicine either makes me feel jittery or tires, and neither of them help me when I am feeling sick. I like to use traditional or natural head cold remedies and I have found a few that work.
Fluids, Fluids Fluids: People say it all the time... "Drink Lots Of Fluids" and it couldn't be more true. You body is fighting when you have a head cold and fluids give your body the energy it needs to fight. Drink a lot of fluids and you will not only feel more hydrated, you will be giving your body the ammunition it needs to come out on top of the battle.
Chicken Soup: Yep, it has been proven that chicken soup does actually help a head cold. The hot soup helps clear your mucous membranes allowing you to breathe easier. There is also something in chicken soup that acts as an anti inflammatory. So there you have, Grandma was right!
Rest: Here again, it is so important that you give your body the best chance to fight the cold off. Sleep as much as you can and if you can't sleep, rent some movies and veg on the couch. The more rest you get the quicker your will be done with your head cold.
Vitamins: Vitamins are important every day, but especially when you have a head cold. Make sure to take some extra vitamin c when you have a head cold.
These are a few of the head cold remedies that work best for me and there are many others that you can find just by surfing our site and the internet in general. Good luck and get well soon!
