Choose the Spices Instead of the Pharmacy!

If you are like the rest of us, when you get sick, the first place you visit is probably the pharmacy aisle at your local drug or grocery store. As soon as people feel even a tiny bit sick they seek out a box of drugs to help stifle their symptoms. What if you did not have to do this?

Look into the cabinets in your kitchen-you already have everything you need to heal. What if you didn’t have to go to the store to start feeling better? There are lots of natural cures for your illness. Also, we highly recommend taking Shakeology, a natural meal replacement drink.

If you want to stay healthy and not get sick in the first place, natural health is the best option for keeping you well.

To prevent a cold or flu from setting in, easy things like washing your hands, eating good and healthy food and taking a walk regularly can do quite a bit to keep the colds at bay. These easy and regular actions will beef up your immune system and keep you from getting sick. The saying about staying on the offense being a good defense applies to more than a sporting match. Your health benefits from this as well. Look for a recipe for salve. People use salves to help combat congestion of the head and chest. The herbs, spices, and other plants that are used in natural salves can help you fight off your cold or flu, break up your congestion and can even bring down a fever. Even if it isn’t strictly natural, vaporub is a great salve to use. Salves work best when smeared onto the chest but they can also be dabbed under the nose or rubbed into the soles of your feet.

Use tea! Herbal teas are great because they contain ingredients that help people feel better but do not contain caffeine which can slow down the immune system’s response to illness. If you are into making your own teas, put some of all three in your tea bag and let it steep for a while. The tea will help you sweat which is always helpful in ridding your body of the toxins that are trying to take over while you deal with your cold or flu. Natural health cures are all over the place! Don’t take a bunch of chemical based “cures” when there are better options available. This article does not advocate ignoring your doctor but does encourage you to try some natural health remedies if at all possible. Lastly, be sure to check out a list of the Shakeology ingredients and copy a few delicious Shakeology recipes while you are at it.
