Cold Natural Treatments and Diet for Cold Sores
The natural treatment of cold sores can be very fast and effective. Treating any ailment naturally has the benefit of ensuring it supports what your body is trying to do. Drugs work against this, so take a toll on your health. However, there are so many natural treatments around that it can be hard to work out what is the most effective.
Natural Treatments Cold Sores
Garlic is a very common and powerful herb. To make a very effective broth for the common cold, simmer four minced garlic cloves in four cups of chicken broth for 10-15 minutes. Add as much cayenne pepper as you can stand and drink this mixture throughout the day.
Echinacea is a very common and widely used natural remedy. It is a plant known as the purple cone flower. It works as an immune system enhancer and a cold and flu treatment. The only thing is, you should not use it for more than 2 weeks at a time because it does lose its effectiveness after a 2-week period. It helps with lessening the effects of a cold and it does help shorten the time that you have symptoms. It is also used to help numb and treat a sore throat.
Then there is the tried and true natural treatment, raw honey. Raw honey is one of the best treatments for a sore throat and cough. You should buy the raw, unfiltered honey versus the regular kind you buy in the grocery store that comes in the honey bear plastic container. Raw honey is also good for young children, over 1 year old. It can be mixed in a warm beverage like tea for even more soothing effects.
Wild Cherry Bark is commonly sold as syrup but you can also find it in tea form. It is a good natural remedy when some of the symptoms that you have are a cough and a sore throat. The fruit itself is rich in Vitamin C and it is good to take to prevent the onslaught of a cold or the flu. It is easy to use. You just put crushed wild cherry berries in a drink or eat them plain.
Another great natural remedy that works as a treatment or as a preventive measure is Elderberry. Elderberry commonly is sold as syrup and in some areas, it is locally grown. People that use Elderberry on a consistent basis say that it works great to prevent you from getting the cold or the flu.
Astragalus is a Chinese medicine and it is generally used for night sweats and diarrhea. However, it is also widely used to improve one’s immune function. Some people use it for heart conditions and it is said to lower blood pressure. However, no human studies have been conducted on astragalus so you might want to speak with your doctor before using this natural remedy. It is commonly found in capsule form.
Diet
One of the best natural cold remedies is to eat the right foods when you feel a cold coming on. Foods high in the necessary vitamins and minerals can sometimes stop the infection all together if taken in the earliest stages of some colds. Eat lots of other fresh fruits and vegetables which are high in Vitamin A, B and C such as bananas, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, strawberries and other natural energy boosters.
Also, herbal teas and warm fruit juices will encourage the body to fight colds more effectively. Avoid mucus producing foods especially milk and other dairy products. Also, pastries, cakes and other refined carbohydrates can cause more harm than good during this time. And most importantly, as always stay hydrated with plenty of natural juices such as grapefruit and or orange juice. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water.
