The weather nowadays seems so unpredictable although we have been learning so many years that certain months have particular seasons. Usually at these times, I often see many people got cold, sore throat or allergy. Here are some tips below to deal with such ailments using home remedies which I came across from a grandmother’s experience combine with my own.
Bronchitis: For mild bronchitis symptoms, use a vaporizer, take a steamy shower or turn the hot water on in the sink and cover your head and the sink with a towel (kind of a quick and easy sauna) to ease your discomfort and open up your chest.

Congestion: Red pepper, jalapenos and hot salsa will temporarily open up your nasal passages and break up congestion.

Eat plenty of varied fruits like oranges, kiwi, guava, papaya, etc. and make your plate a ‘rainbow’ plate which means regularly eat different colors of fruits.

Echinacea: drink Echinacea tea at the very first sign of a cold.

Green tea: Green tea is a natural antihistamine, which helps both allergies and colds. Choose Oolong type (Chinese green tea) or Ocha type (Japanese green tea).

Saline nose drops: Make your own nose drops by sprinkling some salt in boiled water (about 1/4 cup) to break up congestion and help you breathe (or you can get it already bottled and ready to use at the local drug store).

Sore throat, gargle salt water several times daily or gargle cider vinegar. Another way is you can chew on a cod liver oil pill, or drink hot green tea as (jujube tea).
Thyme: Make a tea with thyme or add a little to your recipes when you cook to break up congestion and relieve stuffy noses.

Vicks Up: Rub a little Vick’s Vapor Rub or another menthol salve on the upper chest, then rub what is left on your fingers under your nose, this can break up congestion and help you breathe more easily.
