Humans suffer an average of 200 colds in their lifetime. The immune system naturally fights off the infection, but it's the typical symptoms like a cough that bother us. Therefore, we present some simple home remedies with organic infusions that will help you relieve these terrible symptoms.
If you have a cold, it's important to drink plenty of water—the recommended amount is two liters per day. However, in this case, warm drinks help moisten the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, allowing them to better perform their functions, including defending against pathogens.
A good home remedy for colds is a hot, organic herbal tea . This helps thin thick mucus in the respiratory tract and facilitates expectoration. Herbal teas are doubly useful against colds, as they first provide the body with plenty of fluids, and medicinal herbs also have specific effects, as they can relieve the symptoms of a cold.
