Cold remedies?

[dlagr21]

Bros,

I am coming down with a cold; runny nose, sore throat, all that goes along with it.

Anyone got any good natural cold remedies that they use to kill off a cold?

I take Multi-vit, and garlic daily for general health.

I know some people swear by glutamine.

This, followed by plenty of water.

I like to put dissolved vitamin c tabs into bottles of water, (Berrocca) and sip through the day, along with plenty of warm drinks, so tea, and Beechums hot menthol berry drinks.

Vitamin D 5000IU daily.

Green tea. Ginger. Turmeric. Cinnamon. Spicy food. Meat broth (pho would be good). Epsom salt baths. Limes/lemons/oranges. Fiber. Avoiding dairy and soy.

Do you guys train when you're sick? Or take a couple days off?

I feel guilty if I don't go workout, and I hate spending nights on the couch, but I suppose the rest will do me a lot of good.

I second Pho. Vitamin C, d, and zinc might help a bit but I feel marrow broth is the closest thing to a cure there is.

when I feel a cold coming on I double down on the vit c and garlic. using the normal walmart versions I am taking 1000mg c and 2000mg equivalent garlic (thats what it says, its like 20 mg of highly concentrated active or something) at both breakfast and dinner: thats just 2 of each. To soothe a sore throat and loosen things up if you get one, hat water with lemon and honey (not just a few drops of lemon, you want to almost pucker. If the sore throat gets bad, add cayenne pepper (sounds disgusting but its not too terrible and it really does help).

Essential oils are all natural. I have just started taking them cause my two boys are always sick and getting me sick. Its too soon to know if it's worked, but a friend of mine swears by them. Its the Young Living brand that is pure and can safely be ingested. Thieves oil is one of them that is supposed to prevent colds and shorten your cold if you've already got one.
Then there's always the good old vitamin C and vitamin D. And get plenty of rest.
I workout when sick only if it's mild, if severe, I rest.

if you've got a fever or you can't eat and don't have good energy, i'd definitely pass. if it's a sore throat and cough, go for it.

Vitamin C works for me. It might just be the placebo effect, but the last time I had a cold, with lots of vitamin C, it only lasted 2 days.
