In the winter months, the flu inflicts a similar misery on people but includes fever and acute muscle pain. Influenza when serious can lead to complications such as pneumonia. It is why it must be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\">The common Cold and Influenza are very often contracted by handling money or shaking hands because we transfer the infection or virus to our mouth or nose when we touch our face. Most of the time we are unaware we are doing that. It is why a good prevention plan starts by washing the hands after contact with money or hands. If you can\u2019t wash your hands, you can use <strong>a natural hand sanitizer<\/strong> (not a chemical one as Triclosan is a highly carcinogenic molecule) or an anti-infection essential oil blend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\">If you take notice of the first subtle symptoms of a cold or a flu you can take immediate action to alleviate some of the common miseries associated with those viruses and should first avoid those displaying Cold and Flu symptoms as much as possible to try to prevent the disease from spreading.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The proper nutrition <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\">While there is no cure for cold and flu, eating properly can help prevent them or shorten the duration of the symptoms. Eating provides essential nutrients that can help the body recuperate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Vitamin C:<\/strong> Taking vitamin C shorten colds and flu and have a slight antihistaminic effect. Drinking more citrus juice or taking a supplement is a must do!<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Drink lots of fluids:<\/strong> If you want to avoid dehydration that occurs during fever you must increase the quantity of fluids ingested (at least 10 glasses per day). Drinking plenty of water, tea or broth will replenish lost fluids and keep mucous membranes moist and loosen phlegm. You should avoid alcohol as it reduces the body\u2019s ability to fight the infection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Have chicken soup:<\/strong> It\u2019s soothing, easy to digest and contain cystine, a compound that helps thin the mucus, relieving congestion and reducing inflammation of the lungs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Eat spicy food:<\/strong> Chillies contain capsaicin, a substance that can help break up nasal and sinus congestion. Garlic, turmeric and other hot spices have a similar effect.<br class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"\/><br \/>\n<strong>Boost your immune system:<\/strong>\u00a0 Help your body to fight with this <strong>Gi<\/strong><strong>nger-Turmeric paste r<\/strong><strong>ecipe<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tsp. raw, grated\u00a0turmeric or organic\u00a0turmeric powder<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. raw, grated ginger<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbs.

Tea Tree oil has antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic and antiviral properties. Used in a diffuser or in a bath, tea tree oil helps you fight the congestion and the resulting discomfort caused by the cold or the flu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Pine Essential Oil<\/strong>, derived from the pine tree (Pinus Sylvestris), helps to clear the nasal passages. It also can be helpful in relieving sore throat pain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Lavender Essential Oil<\/strong> (Lavandula Angustifolia) has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, and it is gentle enough for use with children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Peppermint Essential Oil<\/strong> (Mentha piperita) has antiseptic and anti-viral properties and can be useful as an expectorant. Do not use where babies or young children are present.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Thyme Essential Oil<\/strong> (Thymallus) is antiseptic and anti-bacterial.\u00a0 You can use it in a blend with tea tree, lemon and eucalyptus oils in the bath or in a diffuser to help fight congestion. Do not use this oil if you have high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Lemon Essential Oil<\/strong> (Citrus Limon), with its high vitamin content, helps boost the body\u2019s immune system and stimulates the production of white blood cells, thereby increasing your ability to fight off illness. Lemon oil also improves circulation throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dk25jna6usqjht305\"><strong>Eucalyptus Essential Oil<\/strong> is an antiviral and a decongestant, eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus Globulus) helps treat colds and congestion. You can use eucalyptus oil in a diffuser to help open blocked nasal passages, to soothe inflammation and to fight bacteria.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mailmunch-forms-after-post\" style=\"display: none
