Home Remedy #2:
"How Soaking In a Hot Bathtub May Cut the Length of Your Next
Miserable Cold or Disabling Flu . . . In Half!"
Welcome back to another issue of the Home Remedy Series!
This week I want to tell you about a simple home therapy used to deal with pesky colds, sore throats, and flu symptoms.
Generally, you know the exact day when you come down with something. It usually starts
with a scratchy throat, or a chill, or even a runny nose. When you can catch this right away, many
times the symptoms will be 50% to 80% better the next morning if you do what I'm about to tell you.
Now, remember that a virus can be killed by heat or by "running its course". (Therefore,
antibiotics won't usually work on a viral condition). This is why many believe your body creates a
"fever" to kill off a virus.
I've recommended the following home remedy to patients:
1) Soak in a hot bathtub for about 30 minutes. Make sure the water is as hot as you can
stand it, because I want you to really sweat!
2) After 30 minutes of soaking, go right to bed and get some sleep. Your body heals best
when you sleep. The next morning you can sometimes be 50% to 80% better. You may have cut a
"week long" cold . . . down to a day or two!
3) Repeat the next day if necessary. Do this home therapy the first day you notice the cold, sore throat, or flu symptoms.
Now, let's also use a little common sense here, if you are already burning up with a fever, don't
go jumping into a bathtub of hot water. This home remedy is for minor colds, sore throats, and flu!
I've been using this procedure with excellent results. If you feel a cold coming on then a Zinc lozenge also helps decrease the duration and symptoms as well. If you have further questions about any of this then e-mail us. Also note that washing your hands is the best practice as a preventative measure.
Try all of these the next time you come down with a miserable cold . . . or a debilitating flu!
I'll see you next week with another simple home remedy!
