I hate being SICK, natural REMEDIES that WORK!!

                    My TOP remedies & solutions!

It is rare for me to get a cold, and when I do, within a day or two at the most, it's gone. I was raised in a culture of natural remedies. I don't believe in running to the doctor's office for antibiotics.. We troubleshoot these things with natural remedies. It helps, of course, if your body is alkaline.

 Here is the post about how to keep your body in TOP shape.

COLD/ FLU

Soaking your feet in hot water with a little mustard powder can unblock a head cold, help to reduce a fever and soothe a headache. Drawing blood to the feet helps to disperse congestion, increases circulation and eases pressure on the blood vessels in your head.

I recommend you soak your feet for 15-20 minutes. Water - the HOTTER, the better, with 3-4 tablespoons of DRY MUSTARD powder. In my business we use a phrase: 'you start a fire from the bottom up'. This is also the case here. This works like a charm!!! After you are finished, put on warm socks. It's important to lock in that heat. Continue this (if necessary) until you are back to normal.

 EAR ACHE/ EAR INFECTION

We use 70% rubbing alcohol. This is amazingly effective. I use this with my kids. I just had to do this myself a week ago ... Got an ear infection for the first time in my life. Boy, did it hurt!! I felt it for when my son Dylan got it... he even said, 'See, mommy, it hurts, huh?"
 You can either put a few drops or I like to use a cotton ball. I soak it in the alcohol, put it in the ear. So a few drops would go in and the cotton ball will lock in the heat. It clears up the bacteria and it takes the pain away almost immediately.

SORE THROAT

Gargling warm water with baking soda & lots of HOT tea.  
Green Tea will naturally fight infections. Chamomile Tea is very soothing.

Add a tablespoon of baking soda to warm water. Stir to dissolve. Repeat this process as often as needed until the irritation is gone. 

In my previous post about Prevention, I shared how to do a steam bowl procedure that is awesome for throat also! I recommend that until all irritation is gone.

 

It is so important to keep your body hydrated. Here is a formula to figure out how much water you need: take your body weight divided by 2 - that's what you need to drink in ounces. So if your weight is 200 lbs. You would need to drink at least 100 oz of water. A little more if your body is undergoing stress.

 

 GOD BLESS!!
