Holistic / home remedies for colds?

I have a cold. I do not like to take man made meds. I will if I have no other choice, but I prefer natural remedies. I have a headache, stuffy head, bad cough and a bit of a sore throat.

I am looking for any home remedies, preferable natural remedies, that anyone else swears by. My grandmother uses apple cider vinegar, so I’m looking for things like that.

Does anyone have any good, sure fire, suggestions to kick this cold so I can get back to the gym and not make everyone else sick?

Thanks a lot!

Holistic cure a cold?

My friend had a cough for some time and is one of those who refuse to go to the doctor. Is there anything I can do but tell him to go to a clinic? He was chewing ginger drink E3 Live, Manuka honey. What more holistic medicine that could give? Could be an error caught in Mexico, if at all. This is a dry caugh, without being trapped phlegm, his nose is a bit stuffy, but not enough to avoid breathing through your nose. He felt a fever. Tired all the time but can not afford the time off. That's all I can think of to convey to you. Thanks for any help! It would actually not just a cold, I do not know what else to call

In the question you said it was cold and details said it was against the cough. For the cold caused by virus rhinitis and no medicine that stops after a few days of infection is self-destructive and medication administered by doctors is bacterial superinfection in the damaged tissue .. dry cough virus to several cons cough syrups are available in allopathy available in pharmacies .. If a sore throat, gargle with salt water, and against specific-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Brufen) would .. Dont take irritant fatty foods hot or cold items. Plan stale hot liquids .. would be much better honey is said to cure a cough with phlegm in ayruveda, but allopathic According to all the elements that Sweet as it may promote bacterial infection .. If severe and interferes with sleep, it is preferable to the available number of codeine syrup brand names (Corex etc), since that would end the reflux in cough due to allergies .. but they also cause constipation and intestinal stasis. Please take a laxative, so if there is constipation. It is better to see the doctor when things go wrong rather than arbitrarily decide .. health is not a toy. Tell your friend or try all combinations of the ideas here! .. God's help
