Okay, I've had a cold for the last two weeks. Now, Its hard to get over my cold because my body can not tkae over the counter things like Nyquil, Tynlonal, advil, thera flu or anything like that at all. ANy of those things give me panic and anxiety atacks. SO i need something all natural! SO my question is waht is the best thing i can do or take that is all natural that can help me get over my cold fully??? thx!!
Ok think I can help! There is a product you can get for 6-8 dollars at walmart or any pharmacy perhaps it called Airborne. It is all natural and meant to build your immune systems. It works best used at first signs of a cold but could still help you out. Also, this next thing sounds really gross but works...Its called a Neti Pot. You can get one at a natural food store and perhaps some pharmacies carry them. A neti pot is a small little pot that kind of looks like a creamer, or a geni pot kind of..anyway, the idea of this is to fill it with warm water with sea salt in it and you irrigate your sinus with this. There are directions on the Neti pot when you get it.. I have to tell you that if you use it regularly you probably will not get as many colds. You might be able to go online and see what a neti pot is...it is not bad once you relax and give it a chance.. Well you an also boost up your vitamin c and try drinking tea with Echinacia...Hope you feel better soon.
You cannot over dose on vitamin C. that and lots of fluid drink it hot it is more beneficial.. Steam in the shower..
Sore throat? Try some honey lemon and cayenne pepper it makes a nice syrup that soothes and heals.
Good luck !

The only natural way to get over your cold is to do nothing. There is no cure for the common cold, not pharmaceutical, not alternative. You can only try to reduce the symptoms.
Vit C, echinacia, zinc etc all have no effect. Vitamin C can make matters worse. A part of how the body fights infection is the by the production of oxidative free radicals. Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant, if you give a molecule that takes up free radicals, your going to blunt the effect of the immune system on the infection. This has been indicated in studies with childen, the longevity of the symptoms was increased in some cases.
The only thing I can suggest is saline spray to relieve sinus congestion, vapor rub, that sort of thing. And keep up the good diet.
first of all those medicines like nyquil do not cure your cold but can actually prolong your illness by suppressing your immune system. so its best not to take them.
from a natural perspective be sure to drink lots of fluids and supplement with vitamin C and zinc.
there are also natural cold remedies that work pretty well..they sell them at GNC or your local co-op/natural store.
but if you have had a lingering cold for 2 weeks you probably need to get to a doctor because it could be something more.
btw there are natural antibiotics too!
All the above answers are right-on!
I would add this: are you getting tons of rest? Your adrenals need rest so they can fuel your immunity rather than everything else.
Also garlic!
Echinacea is great at the onset of a cold, but once it has gone on for a while yin qiao or evil airborne warrior is more potent and effective.
