Home remedies for a cold?!
Question: I agree that colds have to run their course but you can do things to make them shorter:
1) Drink lots of "Emergen C" packets or Airborne tablets. Both give you a major boost of Vitamin C, B vitamins and antioxidants that help you get rid of toxins made by your body fighting off the virus.
2) If you're drippy (nasal congestion), try a little wasabi mustard (the green stuff served with sushi) or hot n' sour soup. That'll clear you right out.
3) If you have a lot of lung congestion, drink licorice tea. I found this brand Yogi Tea has "Egyptian Licorice" which is naturally sweet, very soothing, and a great expectorant!
Being sick stinks. Get lots of rest and feel better soon!

Cold needs no remedy unless it troubles you for a long time. Cold is a natural process of the body system to expel the dirt from your lungs. In case it persists for more than a week or so, you follow some naturopathic remedies such as the decoction of tulasi, ginger etc. If it is due to allergy, you have to approach the doctor to find out a better relief.
You should buy some vitamin c at the store, the lowest dose possible. Take one pill every hour until you feel better. Sometimes vitamin c upsets your stomach after 5 or 6 hours, it's okay to stop taking it for a while but continue with this routine as soon as possible.
Works like a charm!
