Hi everyone!

I've been practicing Holistic Nutrition for a few years now, but sad: I still get sick :(

Here’s a video on my top remedies for colds. 

Peppermint
* great for clearing airways
* headaches
* I use the essential oil topically

Coconut Oil
* to soothe sore throats
* it’s antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal

Onion
* antibacterial, antifungal
* contains Quercetin, a useful anti-oxidant that has anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory effects

Garlic
* the “Poor Man’s antibiotic”
* contains Allicin to combat invading pathogens

Shiitake Mushrooms
* anti-bacterial
* anti-fungal
* boosts depressed immune systems and calms over-active immune systems 

Avoid Dairy
* makes your body produce more mucus

Avoid Sugar
* depresses your immune system
* inhibits production of white blood cells

Take Oil of Oregano
* it. kills. everything.
* watch how I take it, to avoid the “yucky” taste

Take Probiotic supplements
* because the Oil of Oregano also kills Good Bacteria :(
* Probiotics themselves increase the effectiveness of white blood cells in your body
* and the help manufacture immune cells
* Get Good Bacteria from:
* Tempeh
* Kimchi
* Pickles
* Maybe Kefir and Yogurt
* Get Prebiotics (food for your Probiotics) from:
* Jerusalem Artichoke/Sunchoke
* Burdock Root
