Chicken Soup
Chicken soup helps relieve congestion, keeps you hydrated, and contains essential nutrients to nourish the body and aid the immune system.
Ginger
Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. A cup of ginger tea or freshly grated ginger in food can soothe the throat, alleviate coughs, and counteract nausea.
Honey
Honey coats the throat and relieves irritation. One spoonful of honey in warm tea or simply eaten on its own just before bed will help you sleep better through the night.
Garlic
Garlic is rich in allicin and has antiviral and antibacterial properties. It can shorten the duration of a cold. Include raw or cooked garlic in your meals for an immune boost.
Salt Water Gargle
Gargle with warm salt water to calm your sore throat and reduce inflammation. It also clears mucus from the throat and kills bacteria.
Warm Bath
Warm baths can relax muscle aches, open nasal passages, and induce relaxation. Essential oils, such as eucalyptus or a splash of menthol, will increase the calming effect.
