Home Remedies For Cold And Flu

It's flu season! 



We hate it too!



But the good news is that we've compiled a list of home remedies to help you strike back.

1- Ginger Lemon Tea

In other words "the magic potion". This hot tea does wonders in a matter of minutes.
All you need is to boil some fresh ginger, when done add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon and another tablespoon of honey. 

2- Lemon with Honey

In case you are not a ginger lover, try mixing 1 tablespoon of honey with another tablespoon of lemon. This helps loosen congestion.

3- Chicken Soup

Chicken soup works as an anti-inflammatory and helps relief symptoms of cold and flu. It also prevents dehydration.

4- Salt Water

To soothe the pain, mix 1 teaspoon of salt (preferably Himalayan salt) in a 250 ml glass of warm water and gargle.

5- Eucalyptus 

Fill a large sauce-pot with water and boil. Add some eucalyptus leaves or eucalyptus solution which can be found over the counter at any pharmacy. By inhaling the steam, you add moister to your home which is the sworn enemy of viruses and bacteria. This remedy also helps clear congestion and offers quick relief from cough.
