Natural Cold and Flu Fighters
As soon as you feel any cold or flu symptoms, embrace some of these simple steps: Hydrate by drinking plenty of water and chai rooibus tea; Gargle with salt water to flush out bacteria and viruses; Keep your nose clean by using a saline nasal spray and tea tree oil steam; Visit the drugstore for some Oscillococcinum (OTC homeopathic remedy that is especially effective if used in combo with Tamiflu); Medicinal Mushrooms e.g., shitake, maitake, reishi are powerful immune stimulants; Elderberry Extract with Raw Honey; Rest-up with at least 7.5 hours a sleep a night; Eat plenty of chicken soup, olives, and citrus fruits; Do not share drinks or touch your eyes, nose, mouth. If you don't feel better after all of this, then call your doctor because you may need antiviral medication or antibiotics; if the latter, be sure to take probiotics as well.
