Tips for Colds
Hi everyone! It’s the season for colds and having just got over one myself, I thought it’d be nice if others would share their tips for preventing and fighting colds.

There’s the usual of ‘Take Vitamin C, Echinacea, Vitamins. Drink plenty of water. Get plenty of rest. Soups are your friend. Eat oranges and/or garlic, etc.’

Let everyone know if these really work for you or if you’ve got something that’s been really effective.

I practice Reiki and there were days when I would energetically pull gunk out of my throat. It helps. If any of you are into holistic healing, by all means - utilize your gifts. Even if you don't practice that type of healing, take note of what your body does. Even though being sick sucks, it does give you a chance to become more body aware.

Once I started recovering from my cold, I ended up with a chapped nose and little cracks at the corner of my lips. I found that petroleum jelly really helped, especially with the cracks at the corner of my lips. I put some on at night & in the morning and it was wonderful when I could yawn without pain.
