Healing the Common Cold Naturally

By DHERBS.COM | August 20, 2007

HERBS. There are many herbs that can help naturally boost the immune system during the so-called common cold. Echinacea root, Goldenseal root, Astragalus, Ginseng root (all variations), Suma, Elder berry, and Licorice root are exceptional herbs to boost and strengthen immunity or defense.

VITAMIN C. Vitamin C (from plant sources) also helps to overcome a “cold.” Natural sources of Vitamin C include Hibiscus flower, Elder berry, Acerola cherry, Rose Hips, Indian Gooseberry (Amalaki), Cayenne fruit, Camu fruit, and Grape seed extract.

You would be wise to avoid Vitamin C derived from ascorbic acid, which is a chemical. This chemical pollutes and taxes the liver which is why you may of heard allegations that Vitamin C causes hepatitis, jaundice, or other liver ailments. Vitamin C from natural sources does not impair the liver, only Vitamin C derived from chemicals such as ascorbic acid.

CRYSTALS. The stones “Jet” and “Chyrsoprase” enhance the absorption of Vitamin C. These stones are used by making an elixir, basically letting them soak in water over night and drinking the water which has been impregnated with the properties of the stones.

I know of no other better formula of Vitamin C than Dherbs.Com’s Vitamin C Combo formula (and I don’t say this because I manufacture it). I say it because of what’s in the formula and the intention programmed into the formula. It is the BEST Vitamin C product available and contains the best natural sources of Vitamin C from all over the planet. It is available in capsule form, liquid extract form (ideal for small children), and now tea form.

Other Dherbs.Com products that are beneficial to healing the so-called common cold include Mucus Buster, Lungs and Respiratory formula, Immune Booster, Rainforest Tonic, Anti-Viral formula, and Bowel Mover.

Our Respiratory inhaler is a safe alternative to Vick’s nasal inhaler which uses man-made menthol whereas Dherbs.Com uses natural menthol from plant-based sources (essential oils).

Our Lungs and Respiratory kit and regimen will also help to prevent yearly common colds which is nothing but the immune system becoming weakened and excess mucus being expelled from the eyes, nose, and mouth (coughing up mucus).

ESSENTIAL OILS. Beneficial essential oils to help heal from a cold include Eucalyptus, White Camphor, Cajeput, Peppermint, Ginger, Ravensare, Inula, Manuka, Pine Bark, Black Pepper, and Lavender (to help you relax and unwind).

You can add 2-3 drops of each of these oils supra to hot bath water (with 1-2 boxes of seas alt added) and soak for about 30-45 minutes.

To help with breathing which may be obstructed due to excessive mucus in the nasal passage, I suggest use of a neti pot and/or facial steaming (over a pot of hot water or use of a professional steamer).

MASSAGE. A nice massage, perhaps deep tissue or lymphatic drainage, or even plain Swedish massage, will greatly help the fatigued body reboot its immune (defense) system.

The best remedy to heal a so-called cold undoubtedly would be good old fashion REST! That’s right! Rest! When we get a good night’s sleep between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., we are allowing the body all the necessary time it needs to heal, repair itself, rejuvenate, revivify, and recuperate.
