It’s never fun to deal with a lingering cold. But with a few trusty herbal cold and flu remedies, you can at least lessen the symptoms while you recover. Keep reading to discover our member-favorite solutions for getting back into the swing of things.
Natural Ways to Recover From Colds
When a cold gets you down, ease recovery with some of these tried-and-true remedies.
- Sip bone broth. Research from the University of Nebraska reports that chicken noodle soup (or perhaps the bone broth it’s made in) may have a mild anti-inflammatory effect that helps reduce symptoms of the common cold.
- Take oregano oil. One of our employees recommends to “drop it on the tongue and swish around your mouth for one minute before swallowing. Continue taking until you feel better; I’ve found that cold symptoms are typically gone by the next day.”
