10 Tips to Beat the Cold

So, you’re down for the count. You have body aches, the chills, an achy head, a runny nose, and a fever.

We’ve all had it at least once. And many of us get sick with it on a regular basis, even if we do get a flu shot and take multivitamins on a regular basis.

The good news is that there are plenty of at-home flu remedies you can try before hitting the doctor’s office.

1. Think Steam

When you have a cold or the flu, steam is your friend because it helps open your airways

You can loosen up your stuffy nose if you breathe in some steam.

Boil water and pour it in a large bowl containing at least two teaspoons of shaved ginger. Drape a towel over your head, lower it until you’re right over the bowl, and breathe in the gingered steam.

You can also do this with Vick’s Vapor Rub. Simply drop a heaping spoonful of the balm into the boiling water and stir it until it dissolves. Again, breathe in the steam.
