home remedies

Hello, Everyone, and welcome..

Today gonna share with you some simple home remedies for the common cold...yes, the common cold...let's begin.. cooking superstar conquers colds...Give the cold shoulder to congestion, sore throats, and bland food with a clove of garlic..GARLIC....not only will it zest up your meal, itwill
boost your immune system- thanks to allicin. This natural compound, released when you crush
the cloves, it what gives garlic its falavor and aroma. Allicin works to fight colds, the flu, and other
infectins by breaking down into smaller chemicals called sulfur compounds...They jump-start your immune system, helping your body to get rid of harmful toxins and microorganisms naturally..

More importantly, allicin acts like an antibiotic. It's been called "Russsian pencillins" for its ability to help the body fight off infections, particularly respiratory and digestive infections.. Military studies from World War II showed that soldiers who ate the most garlic had the fewest cases of dysentery.

You name it, and allicin in garlic seems to kill it...bacteria, molds, viruses, yeast, and other parasites. Some of its victims include H. pylori, the bug behind stomach ulcers, as well as Salmonella and E. coli.
Mincing fresh garlic seems to be the best way to get all of the benefits of allicin. Experts recommend eating from one-half to three cloves a day. You can also try garlic powder or supplements, Whatever type you consider, talk with your doctor if you're taking blood-thinning
medications like warfarin.

Dont ask your doctor to prescribe an antibiotic for a cold or flu. Antibitiotics are useless against viral infections. Many doctors say they prescribe an antibiotic because the patients expect or request it.
If your doctor prescribes an antibiotic, ask questions, make sure it is neccessary for you to take that drug.
Follow directions given by your doctor or pharmacist exactly...Take your medications at the proper time.and finish the entire prescription. Dont stop taking it just because you may be feeling better. You may not have ki8lled all the bacteria.

Always wash your hand throughly and handle food property to prevent spreading bacteria in the first place.
Never save medication to give to someone else better.

A thousand years later another physician stated,,, "Chicken soup is recommended as an excellent food as well as medication
Always keep in mind to drink plenty of fluid, get proper rest..
