Poor little thing !! Yes hun, it will actually help you to heal quicker..... lemon juice is rich in vitamin C and that is precisely what your body needs to reduce the symptoms of colds and sore throats and the amount of time that you are ill.
You might think that i'm daft but a sure fire way to nip a cough in the bud is to slice a lime or lemon into quarters, squeeze the juice into a cup of warm water and add honey to taste (honey has antiobiotic properties) and sip on that................. then, suck on another 1/4 of a lime or lemon rinsing your mouth out thoroughly afterwards to protect your teeth from the acid ?
The vitamin C content of limes and lemons is so potent that it does a fine job of eliminating a cough ?
Just gotta be brave girl and suk on those limes.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin C ~ in particular, limes and lemons, also oranges, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, leafy and green vegies, red and green peppers?
Loads of freshly squeezed juices are good too?
Pump up your fresh filtered water intake as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one?
Avoid sugar as bacteria will only multiply and feed on sugar. Also avoid B complex thieves such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks, alcohol .............. all these things will also do a great job of dehydrating you?
Take a B complex supplement as the B complex of vitamins are essential for healthy neural digestive and immune system functioning and will assist your body in dealing with stress of being ill ................ take one even after you recover ?
vitamin C will bolster your immunity and help to torch those nasty cold and flu germs?
Eucalyptus oil has long been respected for its ability to lower temperatures and help the respiratory tract by loosening and removing mucus during attacks of bronchitis, coughs, flu, sinusitis and throat infections. Its antiviral and antibacterial action will deter further growth of the bacteria or virus?
Put a capfull of eucalyptus oil into a hot bath and soak in that for 15 - 20 minutes luxuriously inhaling the steamy wonderfull vapours.......... this will help enormously in loosening congestion and mucus from your chest and respiratory tract.
Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil also onto a hanky and lie it next to your pillow at night to help ease breathing.
Fill a salad bowl with hot water and put 1/2 a capfull of eucalyptus oil into it ~ make a tent with a towel over your head and lean over the bowl and inhale the steamy eucalypt vapours ........... being carefull not to get so close that you burn your face?
Caution ~ Do not use eucalyptus oil if you suffer from epilepsy or high blood pressure ....... if either is the case simply substitute with tea tree oil which is also a brilliant antiviral and antibacterial?
Good health to you?
be brave and eat the limes hun ~ amazing stuff?
CHEERS
?
Yes. It surely will. It helped me. Of course if there is some other complication and the cough etc. are just its outward symptoms. If it persists consult a doctor.
i thought it wud be disgusting but wen i first tried it, it was very nice
I drink it when I have a sore throat too. It just reduces the soreness of the throat, a bit like a butter menthol or Soother.
Yes, honey & lemon are good for cough and throaght. Basically you can also try ginger with honey for your cold and throaght. It is much more better option then honey and lemon as honey and lemon are more useful in reducing fats.
this must be your grand mother days costly treatment --is also like asking "have you tasted"sweet sour chicken(chineeee'ss)hot hot food for your cold ---if not there is a saying stuff the cold starve the fever---- if do not' like this see your DR
