3. You may take vegetable pill extracted from wheat grass and alfalfa. Normally, this vegetable pill is for health strengthening by taking 1 tablet each time 2 times a day but for people with a cold, take 2-3 tablets each time 2 times a day. In addition, you can also keep the pill in your mouth and crack it with the teeth so that the chlorophyll can reduce the inflammation.

4. Fast by following your instinct when having a cold. Usually, a person with a cold will get bored with food because the body need to save some energy from eating and digesting to repair the damaged parts. So, you should stop eating. Instead, drink orange juice 8-10 glasses or water all day. However, the orange juice is better as you also get vitamin c from it.

The result from fasting is the body will mend itself and the immune system will be stronger. Thus, the cold will be gone quickly. This kind of fasting is considered detoxification by naturopathy as it stimulates the immune system and the disease germs are destroyed automatically.

Last week, my mother told me “ Why don’t you go visit Bancha. He has been in bed for 2 days because of the cold.” Bancha is my real brother who lives next to my house. “ He refuses to eat anything. Maybe he’s trying to use detoxification by fasting like what you’ve told other people.”

Like what my mother said. My brother was following his instinct. He then recovered within 3 days.

Next, my sister also had a cold. Her nerve ached and she had to take lot of medicines to reduce the ache, fever, and phlegm. We can say she was treated with full western medical service. However, it took a whole week for her to recover.

These are just some examples from people around me. How about you? Which way would you choose when you have a cold?
