Get Rid Of Common Cold

Have you ever suffer from common cold? I bet almost none of you would answer no. This symptom happens easily especially when you have lack of immunity and when you are exhausted after having a hard work or a long journey.

At the beginning you will get runny nose, congestion, sneezing, scratchy throat, cough and sometimes followed with headache. Over-the-counter medications can provide temporary relief of symptoms and should be used as soon as you feel a cold coming on. But you should REMEMBER to follow dosage instructions on all product labels and know what is in the medication one is taking.

Studies have shown that acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve aches and pains may worsen asthma and/or peptic ulcers.

When you get cold, try to take a rest, if possible. Though colds get better within a few days to weeks, whether or not a person takes medication, it is always inconvenient when you get cold. It is recommended to take adequate liquid to help keep the lining of the nose and throat from drying out, so that mucus remains moist and easy to clear from the nose.

My experience with this symptom might inspire you. As I prefer not to take too much chemical medication anymore, I try to maximize the usage of my father's bee products. When I got cold, it was hurt to swallow my own saliva. I believed that I begun to get common cold. I put 5 drops of our liquid propolis in a half cup of warm water-mixed with a spoonful of honey and drunk it before I went to bed. The next morning, I got much better and my sorrow throat was relieved!

I also use honey to heal my 1,5-year-old daughter who was asthmatic. Every morning before taking any meal, I always give her a half cup of warm water mixed with a spoonful of honey. The result : she could manage her cough and never suffered from her asthma anymore. And she also has a good appetite as well :-)

Honey and propolis are useful in protecting from many bacterial and viral infections. Unlike NSAID drugs, honey and propolis are considered as save to be used for those who are asthmatic and they are very good as wound dressings. And the most wonderful thing is that they are natural food supplement that have no harmful side effect. So why don't you start to consume them for your health? :-)
