How to Get Rid of a Cold Fast

With the average person being busier than ever, who has time to be sick? There’s especially no time to be sick with a cold, which normally lasts as long as a week.

Nonetheless, your limited time doesn’t prevent you from getting sick.

So, if you catch a cold, how can you get rid of it ASAP? Of course, we all know there are over-the-counter medicines such as Tylenol Cold & Flu, Dayquil/Nyquil, Mucinex, Corcidin HBP, etc.

Did you know that there are five additional ways you can cure a cold? Those five methods are as follows:

1. Wash away cold germs by taking a bath

Take a 20 minute hot bath daily. This raises your body’s temperature; thus, slashing the length of a cold by as many as four days.

Because viruses are heat sensitive, raising your body temperature is a major step in killing cold germs faster.

2. Drink ginseng tea to kill viruses

According to research, drinking 16 oz. of panax ginseng tea daily can slash at least two days off the length of your cold. This herbal extract can increase immune cells as much as 30%; thus, making it effective in killing viruses.

Please note that ginseng tea is also called Chinese or Korean ginseng tea.

3. Pop a vitamin A to boost your immunity

Vitamin A is effective in boosting the production of natural killer cells, which in turn, are responsible for destroying viruses such as colds. Try to take as much as 10,000 IU daily.

4. Try a germ killer such as grapefruit seed extract

The flavonoids in a grapefruit seed extract are capable of destroying germs because it punches holes in its membranes. A dosage between 375 to 500 mg. is recommended for daily usage.

5. Kill germs with Kan Jang

 Also known as Andrographis, Kan Jang is an herb used as a cold remedy in Sweden. It’s popular with the Swedish because it reduces cold symptoms such as sore throat, fatigue, and muscle aches as much as 48%.

Kan Jang is known to stop colds in as little as three days. The reason for this is Kan Jang stimulates your immune system so it can severely attack invading viruses. As a result, your immune system is stronger within hours of the first dose.

In order for Kan Jang to be effective, it’s recommended that you take a daily dosage of 1,200 mg.
