This is the season of the common cold, I hate being sick so I really try hard to get through the winter unscathed! In my circle of friends there have been so many people sick this past month, it’s been awful! I’d like to share a couple of cold remedies I’ve learned over the years, I always try my best to use natural remedies to knock out a cold or prevent one. My family teases me because I am kinda wacky about it. I constantly wash my hands, take Vitamin C, and use my Young Living Essential Oils, especially Thieves. My new favorite remedy though is the Hot Toddy, it’s pretty tasty and soothing! You can find the recipe at the bottom of this post.
The best reasons to make a hot toddy over traditional cold medicines is:
1.) Grandma used to swear by it so it has to be good for you.
2.) Relatively inexpensive.
3.) No expiration dates.
4.) Most kitchens have the ingredients.
5.) It tastes good!
6.) No chemicals/au naturalle.
Some of my other favorite natural remedies are Esberitox, Sambucus, and Throat Coat Tea. If I can get by without using traditional medicine I will. I would love to hear from you some of your creative ways of treating a cold.
And that my friends is how you “Knock Out A Cold”!
