COMMON COLD
Although caffeinated drinks, like green tea or coffee, seem like immediate solutions, caffeine quickly dehydrates the body, prolonging a cold. Therefore, simply drinking water and getting rest will prove most effective.
Decongestant medication does not have to be the go-to when dealing with congestion. Using heat, like taking a warm shower or using a heated wet cloth, makes it easier to breathe, while saline solutions and humidifiers dissolve nasal blockages.
Apple cider vinegar effectively lowers a fever because vinegar increases blood flow. Chicken soup, as tradition implies, is the ultimate remedy for fevers. The warm broth relieves chills while the chicken gives vital protein.
Gargling salt water or baking soda water is often the best way to soothe an aching throat, but honey, which has been proven to be more effective than some cough suppressants, is also a reliable remedy.
