I have used the following trick for over two years: take organic unfiltered acv at the first tingle of a sore throat, ingest it in salads and mixed with water, and a cold has never ever developed! It's a true all natural cure for the common cold and flu!

need:

Factors that make us prone to catching cold and flu:

*****
Home remedies for colds:
Drink teas from such plants as: raspberry, elder flower, linden (tilia), rose hip, and viola.
Teas made especially out of raspberry fruit or with raspberry syrup. Simmer 1-2tbs of raspberries under cover for 15 minutes. Drink warm liquid 2-3 times a day.
******
Home remedies for running nose:
Inhalations with addition of such herbs as: chamomile, majoran, salvia, and mint. 1-2tbs of chamomile pour over boiling water in a pot.
Inhale for 15-20 minutes.
Rose hip tea pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1tbs of rose hip, let stand for 15-20 minutes. Drink a cup of rose hip tea 3 times a day.
You can also buy Rose hip tea.
*Drink 1tsp of black currant juice 2-3 times a day.

*******
Speaking of cold and flu remedies, here is one that I find very valuable.
Witches Brew for flu
1 TBSP Vinegar
1 TBSP Honey
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp of ginger
2 TBSP water
Mix all of the above, and heat in micro just enough to make it 'not to hot'
to drink.
Or mix all but water and add approx 2 TBSP of water from your heated tea
kettle.
This is good for colds, flu's, sinuses, etc.
******
Colds and Flu!!!
Buy a cute little basket. Fill it with garlic bulbs.
Put it on a table near your bed.
The "Aromatherapy" which is mild since
they haven't been cut...will keep germs away.
When bulbs get dry...replace.
*******
Boil 1/2 tsp cayenne (red pepper) and 1 Tblsp of
Chili powder in one cup of water.
The fumes will permeate your home and cause
mucus to loosen and you will cough it up and
feel much better.
*******
Inhaling the fumes of Strong Horseradish will
also unplug sinusus....will also make your eyes water.
If you have lost your sense of smell..be careful with this.
Only one whiff at a time.
********
I believe this saying....When I kept to the rule I didn't have
a cough...cold or flu for 5 years.
"Never let a bare foot touch a bare floor"
(It was easy for me as I have every room carpeted except
the bath...I would make sure I stepped on the small
rugs in that room...lol
*******
Pneumonia.....tie three garlic bulbs on string and
Put around neck while sleeping...have bulbs over
chest area.
******
Saw palmetto is good for any sinus trouble.
************
Chicken Soup and burnt toast will help you get over the flu.
******
One clove of garlic in water ....leave for one half hour..
Take out garlic...snuff water up nose to clear and
relieve sinus problems.
******
Aloe vera in nose ....makes eyes and nose water
but clears infections.
*******
For a sore inside of nose....Use Internal Kloss's formula
On Q tip and put on sore...It will heal fast and
stop hurting immediately.
*******
When you feel a sore throat coming on....Use two teaspoons
of Apple Cider Vinegar in 4 oz of water and Gargle.
The sooner the better!!
One day when I was on a shoot I began getting a terribly sore throat..... I went into a store and
Bought a bottle of ACV...then I bought some bottled water...Poured the
vinegar into it and gargled in my car. I had to swallow it..
but the sore throat never developed...It works!!!!
**********
Carry a small bottle of vinegar...like an ounce in your bag or car. If someone sneezes on or near you....Immediately
put a drop or two on the top of your hand...(top of hand is clean)
and snuff it up your nose.
It will kill the germs you may have inhaled.
*********
Keep a pair of new long wool socks in drawer for sore throats...cover throat with Kloss's external formula
put wool sock over it to drive formula into skin...and bring circulation to throat.
You will feel better soon.
**********
To help sinusus drain..massage fingers and top of hand between knuckles and towards base.
****************
Sore throat...Massage both Thumbs and Big toes.
*************
Boil some of Kloss's forumla on stove in one cup of
hot water for lungs.
********
If you feel a throbbing pain on head or temple...rub Kloss's formula on it...It will stop in minutes.
It will not hurt your hair.
*******
Some coughing is good for you as it is cleaning lungs..etc;
but if you can't sleep because of it...Rub Kloss's external formula all over chest...You will sleep for at least four hours without coughing.
******
Kloss's internal formula will also stop tooth pain until you get to the dentist.
*******
For any mouth sores or canker sores...swish Aloe vera
Juice or Gel in mouth.
********
Echinachea is good for Flu.
******
Echinachea salve is good for cold sores.
******
Hot lemonade makes you feel better when you have a cold.
*********
Crying will help you get over colds and flu faster.
*********
Massaging scalp with fingernails will make sinusus drain.
***********
Yogurt
During this time of cold and flu season, yogurt helps to build up
healthy bacteria in the intestines. 3 cups a day is recommended to
assist in fighting viruses that are in the air now.
Basil
Basil has the property of clearing the head and a stuffy nose. Make a
little sachet of it and use it for headaches or sinus problems. In
Italy, a sprig of Basil is an emblem of love and fidelity.
Echinacea
Echinacea is used as a "blood purifier" - an agent to cleanse the body
of toxic materials. It is helpful in treating infections. Echinacea is a
natural antibiotic, helping restore normal body functions. It boosts the
immune system.
Garlic & Onions:
Garlic and onions have always been a popular remedy for colds, sore
throats, and congestion. Eat raw or very lightly steamed or sautéed.
*******************
Many people are allergic to tissues...
Shake one in the sunlight streaming in your home and you will see why. They have millions of particles flying in the air to further cause problems. Some people have chronic colds and never even suspect it is their tissues.
(Paper towels aren't soft on the nose...but have lots fewer
particles)....An old clean T Shirt cut up is the best answer to this problem in case you are allergic.
******
While on the subject....some women don't realize they are allergic to bathroom tissue...this may cause itch and sores and drainage from sores...to become a chronic problem.
(Unscented baby wipes are the answer)
Another important thing for women to know is about is:
TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME?
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare bacterial-caused illness occurring
mostly in menstruating women who are using high absorbency tampons.
for details click link below
*********
Tissues used for colds should be flushed immediately down the toilet.
(to prevent spread of germs to others)
****************
When flu season is in full swing...I eat out less...avoid crowds when possible...and make sure I get plenty of rest and more vitamin C ...A gram a day.
COLDS/FLU
At the first sign of a cold or flu we use Vitamin C-1000mg every hour
with 3 oz. of water. Here are some herbs and vitamins that work well in
boosting the Immune System.
*******
For the Flu... the fastest remedy is drink lots water and do a colonic
and dont eat anything
********
I have had the flu for 2 weeks but feeling better . My remedy is to eat 3 prunes with vit c, then drink a glass of water
*******
Fighting the flu early
Echinacea (purple coneflower) and zinc lozenges are often recommended
for the flu, but to be effective, they should be taken at the very
beginning of flu symptoms. They work by stimulating the immune system,
and won't help much if your immune system is already fighting a
full-blown flu. Another food item known to stimulate the immune system
is any type of pepper -- common ground black pepper, cayenne pepper
sauce, jalapeno peppers, etc. You could add any of these to your food
when you notice the first aches or sore throat of the flu setting in.
When family members start catching the flu, I eat jalapeno peppers daily
as a precaution. This usually keeps the flu at bay as long as I continue
the daily peppers. And yes, peppers even worked with this year's flu.
*****
Ginger for the flu...Use fresh ginger.
*****
Influenza
Influenza is an acute, contagious sometimes epidemic disease caused by a
virus and characterized by inflammation of the upper respiratory tract,
fever, chills, muscle ache, and fatigue.
The following herbs are good for treating this condition:
* Angelica
* Balm
* Black Mustard
* Boneset
* Carline Thistle
* Cayenne
* Echinacea
* Elder
* Garlic
* Ginger
* Golden Seal
* Horseradish
* Lime
* Marjoram
* Myrrh
* Nasturtium
* Pleurisy Root
* Peppermint
* White Poplar
* Yarrow
*******
When intestinal flu spreads quickly through a family, most
everyone experiences weakness, vomiting and/or diarrhea.
Take normal precautions (wash the hands constantly) to
prevent the spread to family members, and take Homeopathic
Veratrum Album 30X three to four times a day to relieve the
symptoms.
