1. Apple Cider Vinegar
I have heard about people drinking apple cider vinegar, but this is the first time I actually decided to try it.I looked up on Pinterest best cold remedies, and this came up numerous times. I saw a few different recipes, but the one I used was 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of organic honey. I am warning you it is so disgusting, but it really does work and it’s only a little bit! I did it two days in a row and by the third day, I felt so much better.
2. Saltwater
Whenever I get sick I usually get ulcers in my mouth too, and this week they were so bad! All you do is mix salt and warm water in a cup, then mix it around in your mouth. Do it a few times a day and they will go away pretty fast. It is also great if you have a sore throat. Just mix the salt and water again, but this time gargle it instead.
3. Epsom Salt
While I was on Pinterest looking at the apple cider vinegar, I also saw that Epsom salt is really helpful. It helps relax your body, and you can buy different types for different specific reasons. I got one from target that is supposed to restore and replenish. The brand was Dr. Teals, and it was Pink Himalayan. I pored in my hot bath and put on a face mask. Afterward, my whole body felt so relaxed and rejuvenated.
4. Hot Lemon Water
It has been cold and rainy all week, probably the reason I got sick in the first place so I really wanted a hot drink. I did not want something too sugary, so coffee would not be good and I do not like tea. Lemon also detoxes your body, so I thought this would be perfect! I put some water on the stove, then cut up big pieces of lemon and put them in. I also added a little lime, but cucumber would be good too. I kept it on the stove on low till it started boiling. Once it was done I poured it into the mug, and drank it! The warm drink felt so good on such a cold day and also tasted delicious. I usually drink apple cider or coffee so this was a new great alternative that made me feel so much better.
