Ginger tea
Ginger is an ancient remedy that is amazing for treating the common cold. Ginger has been used for thousands of years to reduce inflammation and provide relief to a sore throat. To make ginger tea all you need to do is cut up some ginger root and boil in water. The longer you boil for the stronger the tea will be. This is the best drink to sip on while sick. If you refrain from adding sugar ginger tea will also hydrate your body.
Use heat to increase comfort and reduce congestion
Heat is great for helping your body in the recovery process. Applying heat will relax your muscle, which loosens phlegm and makes it easier to get out of your body. You can use an electric pad or a hot water bottle for a heat source.
Use herbal remedies
Herbal remedies used before getting a cold can help keep it away. Bronchitis tea, chronic stress capsules and decongestant tea are just a few examples of Bell Lifestyle products available in Canada.
Always spit out your phlegm
When you have a cold you’lh have tons of phlegm to get rid of. It can be annoying to go to the bathroom every time you need to spit but this is necessary. When you swallow your phlegm you’re actually reintroducing the virus to your body’s system. Phlegm is your body’s way of getting rid of bacteria that’s making you sick.

The taste will be strong but you will see the results. Apple cider vinger is great at fighting bacteria and returning a sore throat to normal.
