For illnesses like flu, cold and cough I have never preferred to take any kind of allopathy medicines. My way of treating myself is going ahead with natural remedies. I just recovered from flu without a single antibiotic or any other medicine. It took me 4 days to recover which is normal in flu. Even if you take antibiotics, it will take you 4 to 5 days to recover, it is a flu cycle.
This was after more then 2 years that I fell sick and for sure I was not wanting to visit the doctor. I do understand my body well. I knew it was just a flu. If I would have felt something more then may be I would have visited, because again I do not want to get into any bigger health issues. But then here I knew it was not needed and I would be ok with some of my own remedies and good amount of rest.
I will share some of my tips that I follow during such times.
I use a lot of herbs in my diet when I am down with flu, cold or cough. Herbs have amazing antibacterial properties like Ginger, Cinnamon, lemongrass, mint. I make a nice mixture of these herbs and then keep having several cups of it throughout the day.
I go on a very light diet which is mild on the palate also like eggs, soup, salad and boiled food.
I take Zinc, vitamin C supplements of good quality and also use Oregano oil in my herbal mixture. Supplements it is very important to check which one you are using, they should not be those synthetic ones.
Take steam 3 to 4 times a day.
At night before going to sleep a spoon of honey with turmeric and pepper.
And most importantly a lot of rest.
All of this put together, I am up and running back in 4 days again without a single pill. These are my best practices and I hope that it will help, hence I feel like sharing it.
