Colds

SearcI found that pineapple juice is very good for colds. An enzyme called bromelain helps to break down and dissolve excessive mucus. I always mix pineapple juice with carrot juice to help with the colds. I observed that it would reduce the duration of colds.

I also found that if a drop sesame oil is put in both nostrils quite often, helps a lot with colds. Can use an ear bud to do so. It also keeps the nostrils moist and easy on the skin around, and makes it easier to breathe.

Rubbing vicks vapor on the feet, chest and back before bed time gives a lot of relief from cold and makes it easier to breathe. Can put some heat pads on the chest/back to let it go in and open up the congestion.

Drinking hot water as often as possible also helps with draining the mucous.

A combination of all the above whatever possible gives a child and even a grown up quite relief and reduces the duration of colds.
