Natural Remedies: Cold pt.2

As we all know i recently had a common cold. Well this time around i decided to stay away from all over the counter medicine, ALL TOGETHER! It began with a slight headache in the morning, and a sore throat. By the night time my entire body ached. I downloaded a cool app. on my Ipad, NATURAL REMEDIES. I immediately began my little treatment. GINGER! I would peel and boil bits of ginger in water, and mix half of it with my green tea. I kid you not, my cold lasted a total of TWO full days. I had a runny nose, cough, the whole darn thing. Gone in two days. This has never happened, my colds have always lasted 5-8 days, maybe even longer. I am convinced that over the counter medicine only masks symptoms of a common cold and does not help our immune system get stronger to fight the cold off! I highly recommend you all to stay away from over the counter medicines when you have a cold. Try natural remedies. Don't forget if you have a fever you must take something like aspirin to control it, and if it persists go to a doctor-you may have an infection. -M.
