What is the quickest way to make my congestion and asthma go down before my flight tomorrow?
Alula asked:
I’m leaving tomorrow on a trip from the tropics to the East Coast of the US and I JUST got this hooooorrible cold that is causing my asthma to act up and is leaving me sleepless because of the congestion. I would **** to imagine what the snow will do to me once I get there. I’m feverish as well. I prefer natural remedies, but at the moment, I’m pretty desperate. Anything that works is useful.
Thanks!

alavert tablets will rid all of your symptoms and get you feeling back to normal, 1 tablet is good for 24 hours relief and they are over the counter so you can find them at Wal-Mart or wherevere (you might have to wait til you are in the U.S. to find it, but works like a charm)
drink tons of hot tea. I mean tons! it will loosen congestion and hopefully clear your throat and sinuses before it gets to your lungs. blow your nose as often as possible but not hard it could hurt your ears.Hot showers help with the congestion also. Face the water and blow nose when you feel any, well you know. Good luck and feel better. and of course vitamin C
Poor little thing♥ 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♥
*****edit*****
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♥

vitamin C will bolster your immunity and help to torch those nasty cold and flu germs♥
I managed to catch a nasty flu / virus last Thursday and today is thursday and my symptoms have all but disappeared ~ apparently my desire for that tangy lime taste has spared me♥
Squeeze the juice of half a lime or lemon into a cup of hot water and sip on that ~ add honey to taste as honey also has antiobiotic properties in it♥
Then eat the remainder of the lime or lemon (bar the skin of course) …………. the vitamin C content of fresh lemons and limes is very potent and will knock a sore throat and cold / flu within a few days and give you some degree of immediate relief.
Only thing is, protect the enamel on your pearly whites by rinsing your mouth out with water afterwards♥
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♥
Hope you have a nice holiday♥
be brave and eat the limes hun ~ amazing stuff♥
