Fight Colds With Hot Drinks
February 4, 2009
Time honoured myths about fighting the flu virus naturally through herbal or home remedies have now been proven right with scientific research backing the equation of fighting common colds with hot drinks.
Especially in these bitterly cold and energy-guzzling winter months, knowing simple and effective home remedies like the proven ones about hot drinks being consumed regularly to fight infection, raise energy levels and bite the cold, it is a relief to know that a single dose of powerful, herbal concoctions or even over the counter drink mixes taken hot, can help beat a wide range of viruses.
So, while it is true that the common cold strikes more during winter than summer, it is important to ensure that even the summer colds, typically occurring when travelling by air or going overboard with very light clothing that doesn’t provide adequate protection, is also kept at bay.
One way of effectively and easily cold symptoms as soon as they loom on the horizon (e.g. frequent sneezing, sniffles or soreness in the throat) is to take a timely piping hot drink, like a fruity, anti-oxidant enriched potion (e.g. an apple blended with blackcurrants heated to 70 degree centigrade showed immediate relief for cold symptoms during recent lab tests conducted in the US.
The volunteers – over 2 dozen young women and men – were treated to this drink mix which gave them instant relief from complaints of fatigue, runny nose, coughing besides the common ones of sneezing, sore throat and the chills.)
This is mainly because hot drinks have a placebo effect on the body, giving psychological relief first before affecting the cold symptoms with their taste, smell and temperature, so why not try the old Menthol and garlic mix hot water dose for next time the flu bug hovers around you?
When it is possible to save on those medical bills and also avoid having to stay in bed, which is so unproductive for active men of today, then learning how to fight colds with hot drinks comes as a easy and handy measure for avoiding buying drugs that could also have undesirable side effects like making you drowsy and sluggish.
