It’s a rare Wednesday morning. I actually have a stuffy nose and sore throat that has been coming on for about two days now. It’s been a very long time since I actually had a sore throat “take hold.” Why? Well I do the simple things. As soon as I feel any stray symptoms I “up” my water intake. I make sure I’m getting enough sleep and don’t miss taking my vitamins. I often drink echinacea tea. That is what is helping to clear the throat a bit this morning. Since the sore throat has already landed I’m gargling with salt water too.
What do you do when you feel a sore throat or the sniffles coming on?

Green Tea, Throat Coat Tea, lots of water as well. Also Propolis supplements, zinc or elderberry zinc and oil of oregano capsules. I take them in heavier doses for a few days then back off. Also found a product called Immune Support that I will take thru the flu season to help up my immunity. Always reading up on what can be done naturally to keep the God given body we have healthy. I do enjoy watching Dr. Oz, feel he has lots of good info, can also get the information online. Above all praying to be wise in how I take care of myself so I can model a Christ like image. Healing prayers for you~you are a blessing!
Another thing I do for sinus type issues that I don’t enjoy, but is very natural and has given me lots of help is to nasal irrigate. Not fun, but does clean you naturally.
This is proven to help with lots of respiratory issues, including allergies as it washes out alot of allergens from your nasal passages.
With so many supplements and brands of supplements “out there” it is difficult to know what is a good quality product and what is not. So while not claiming to know all a good way to start is to check with trusted friends. A part of our purpose here is to help each other learn healthy habits and stick with them. Sharing our experience is one great way to do that. We totally agree that taking care of our body’s is a good reflection on the God who created us. Thank you for sharing.
