Natural Cold Remedies

0 Comments

Read Now
 
It's that time of year.
Johnny and I caught a bug this week so I thought I'd revisit some of my cold/flu protocols. I realize I haven't been on top of my game lately, ideally I would be doing some proactive/preventative care every single day, in sickness and in health, but we all fall off the band wagon sometimes.
Here is my protocol for supporting yourself with a cold:
HERBS

*Elderberry Tincture:
Anti-viral
(Full blog post on Elderberry HERE)

*EchinaceaTincture:
(Buy from HerbPharm for quality)

Anti-viral/Anti-bacterial

Oregon Grape Root Tincture:
Anti-bacterial

*Nettle Leaf Tea:
To replenish minerals.

*Holy Basil Tea:
To support adrenals during stress.

*Yarrow Tincture or Tea:
Promotes sweating.

*Sage & Licorice Teas:
For Sore Throat

DIET

*Bone/Meat Stock:
Replaces lost minerals, supports whole body in fighting sickness.

*Fermented Foods:
High in Vitamin C.

*High Quality Protein, Healthy Fats and moderate non-starchy Carbs:
Meat & Veggies cooked in butter, lard or coconut oil.

*Eat lots of Garlic, Onion and Ginger

*Lots of Lemon Water with sea salt.
Hydration helps get immune components around the body, Lemon adds more vitamin C and salt replenishes electrolytes.

*No Sugar, Alcohol, Grains and minimal Dairy (preferably raw or fermented)


LIFESTYLE

*Good Quality Sleep/Rest:
For obvious reasons.

*Sauna:

The cold virus can't survive high temperatures so support your healing by taking a sauna at your gym! Use a few drops of essential oil in water if you are in a dry/steam sauna. Eucalyptus and Juniper are great!

Essential Oils: Thieves Oil
clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus and rosemary.
This mixture stops the protein synthesis of a virus so it can't be spread. Apply to bottom of feet with carrier oil or use in diffuser.
