Another flu question...?
Question:
My question is this: What are some remedial/natural/organic reccommendations that will help this flu pass?
(I already know about Manuka honey for coughing and garlic to boost the immune system)
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Answers:
Bananas: Soothe upset stomachs. Bell Peppers: Loaded with vitamin C. Blueberries: Curbs diarrhea, high in natural aspirin. (May lower fevers and help with the aches and pains.)
Carrots: Loaded with beta-carotene. Chili Peppers: Can open sinuses, and help break up mucus in the lungs. Cranberries: Help prevent bacteria from sticking to cells lining the bladder and urinary tract. Mustard & Horseradish: Helps break up mucus in air passages. Onion: Has phytochemicals purported to help the body clear bronchitis and other infections. Rice: Curbs diarrhea. Tea: Black and green tea (not herbals) contain catechin, a phytochemical purported to have natural antibiotic and anti-diarrhea effects.
Herbal teas are probably the most successful remedy that helps me with my flu or cold. I drink green tea with ginseng and honey and my colds are usually not as intense...
