Lots of raw garlic Isabelle- it is a natural antibiotic and you're cold won't stand a chance against it for long! Also steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil in will ease your stuffy head.

Hi Isabelle
Vitamin C is the obvious choice to get plenty of with lots of water and bed rest. You can also take echinacea which is a herbal supplement that strengthens the immune system and stop infection by bacteria in the body. Also a personal favourite of mine is Honey, Ginger and Lemon tea that always speeds up a cold for me.
Rest well and get better soon

There are professional homeopathics that help treat the cause. Perhaps it may be a virus. The best thing to do is to see a holistic or homeopathic practitioner to determine the best teatment plan. There are fantastic homeopathics that help your body fight a virus. I would suggest seeing Dr. Victoria Goldsten, a homeopathic doctor, with the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine. There are homeopathic remedies over the conter that can possibly help for the sore throat etc. As an example Rhus tox may be of help with the congestion but it is still best to consult a professional. If you have further concerns feel free to contact Dr. Goldsten. Her information is below.

Hi Isabelle, I hope you are feeling a bit better. As I mentioned to you on Saturday lymphatic drainage should help but you need to keep at it...
Hot yoga is also very effective as well as massive doses of vitamin C (more than 1 gram a day).
Take care,
Paola

Hi Isabelle
In addition to all the excellent advice given by so many other people you could also try an enema or a colonic. I feel that we often fall ill, when our body needs cleansing. So these two treatments can give immediate relief.
You could also try taking some raw manuka honey in warm water to boost your immune system and ease the sore throat.
I find gargling with warm/hot (as hot as you can bear) with a drop of some essential oil that you like (i like tea tree at the beginning of the day and maybe lemon towards the evening), ver soothing for a sore throat and the essential oils help fight the infection as well.
Another reason we can fall ill is when we have been pushing our body hard and the body is asking us to slow down. So in this case I find receiving a Reiki treatment to be very beneficial.
For building immunity over long term, I have found Reiki to be the most effective for myself. I learnt Reiki 10 years ago. I have been giving myself a Reiki treatment everyday. Over the years I find that I do not fall ill as often as I used to. When I do fall ill, I find that I recover quite quickly.
Everytime I am feeling unwell, I receive a Reiki treatment from someone else and it always help.

If I have a cold, I usually up my Vitamin C to 4,000-5,000mg, add in some pau d'arco, elderberry, and/or echinacea, drink more good water, use essential oils of lavender and clove (or cassia bark), and make a strong garlic broth. That and a little more sleep -- and maybe a day of watching funny movies -- and the cold is gone in 2 days instead of 2 weeks.
Having a cold is also one of those rare times when comfort foods are actually really good for you. Have all the calories you want (just not too much sugar).
