Here's my remedies for shaking off a cold/flu, it's not for everyone but works every time for me; Bath every night with the following; 2 drops of tea tree oil, 3 drops of lavender and 3 drops of black pepper oil (mixed in a little splash of a carrier oil such sweet almond) The tea tree helps the immune system, as does the lavender but that'll help with the aches, the black pepper will help you sweat out the virus! Every night drink this; squeeze the juice of a lemon into a mug, add a shot of brandy, pour in hot water and add as much honey as you like
Then go straight to bed and stay there! It might get sweaty but it'll get you better
I love pure tea tree oil and make sure I always have some, I always add a few drops to the bath water, I love lavender oil as well, hmmm just realised I ran out of it last week so need more, my brain's like mush lately lol so thanks for the reminder Hubby only occasionally eats fruit but when he was ill as well as using squeezed lemon with added honey several times I also squeezed the juice of 3 large oranges for natural Vit C making sure the orange pulp was also added and he loved it, especially when he had thirsts for cold drinks. I never buy nasal sprays since learning years ago they're just a quick fix for a short time so have to keep using them. A few drops of Olbas Oil on a tissue or on the pillow case to ease congestion at night has much better results.
I too wish everyone well very soon who's been hit by cold/cough/flu bugs
