Natural Treatments for the Common Cold: 3

honey-text455While the two examples that I have explored here have been proven to work to treat a common cold, I can tell you for sure that honey is another treatment that works.  Honey is actually fantastic if you have a cough or even if you have just a sore throat, as it coats it.

What this does is it makes sure that the tickle you feel in the back of your throat goes away, because it is hydrated and because it is coating the back of your throat.  Research has actually proven this and I can tell you for sure that it works – a heck of a lot of time.

Dark colored honey works best, as it is high in antioxidants and it certainly is something that is worth the investment.

Natural Treatments for the Common Cold: 2

Orange_Slice_Splashing_Into_WaterNow that we have touched on garlic, the next thing that we are going to explore is vitamin c.  To be quite frank, when people tell you to drink a lot of orange juice when you are sick, it is the truth!  You want to make sure that you are getting a heck of a lot of vitamin c in order to fight off that cold.

The reason for this is because vitamin c actually rises up your immune system, which makes sure that your body can fight off the infection that it is feeling when you have a cold.

For me – Simply Orange is the best way to go, as it is by far the best tasting and it is that … simply orange!

Natural Treatments for the Common Cold: 1

2451garlic_cloveI have to tell you guys something – I hate getting sick.  I am the person that people with weak immune systems hate because I never get sick.  I have not been sick for at least three years and I can tell you for sure that it is awesome.  However … when I get sick, it takes me a really long time to recover.

That is exactly what happened to me two weeks ago.  I got extremely, extremely sick and I was even out of work for three days!  It was terrible!  It was then that I realized that I needed to find us some good, natural treatments for the common cold.  That is what the new four blogs are going to be able – curing the common cold naturally.

One of the first treatments is garlic!  Garlic has been known for quite a long time for the home cure for the common cold and it is honestly awesome!  The cold-fighting compound in garlic is allicin and it really does work!  More in the next blog!

Vets Are Now Examining Alternative Therapy For Pets: 1

171puppylitter.ashxWhen it comes to pets, most people do not think that there is anything natural that can be done but lately there is a growing trend that is allowing vets to actually explore alternative therapies for their pets.  The cool thing about this is that instead of pumping your pet full of chemicals, vets are looking for a natural way to treat certain things.

One of the keys to this particular type of treatment for pets though is that it all boils down to your pets diet.  Honestly, if you are feeding your pet a lot of table scraps, you might actually be adding to the diseases that they are constantly getting.

In the next blog, we are going to talk about some of the specific alternative therapies that are being offered up in some vet’s offices.

Natural Hair Care Treatments: 2

used-tea-bag-staining-1Now that we have talked about dandruff and lemon juice, let’s go ahead and dive right into another technique and natural hair care remedy that I have used many, many times.  Tea leaves are actually fantastic for your hair and after making your tea – if you boil the used tea bag in two to three cups of hot water, you will actually be able to create a regenerating rinsing solution for dull hair.

If you are looking for some silky strands, you can use henna extract, as it is by far the most efficient.  Basically, you mix a henna paste with eggs and lemon juice and use it as a hair conditioner.  I can promise it works!

Finally, if you have dry hair, two to three teaspoons of olive or coconut oil can be used in the mixture above, as that is something that can really liven up and repair your hair!
