Cold & Flu - Another common illness that causes many problems and damages to our immunitary system, one that changes all the time, adapts to different environment and makes us more vulnerable to this, and many more types of diseases. Best way to treat this illness, is to treat it when the very first symptoms start appearing. First of all, and one of the greatest wonders of nature, especially when it comes to treat the cold & flu, is the Garlic (Allium sativum). It has been used in ancient Egypt as treatment for may affections, viruses, and indeed they do wonders to our immune system. If you are not to fond of consuming raw garlic because of its taste and smell, you can take Garlic Caps, which are very effective, and treats the cold & flu without side effects. You can combine this treatment with natural Fruit Vitamin C (find it in natural products stores, do not choose the syntethical version of it in the pharmacies!), which is one of the most reliable antioxidants that helps you effectively strengthen your immune system, and fight effectively against this wide spread affection. For people who like to drink tea, Linden flowers (Tiliae flos), is recommended which is an excellent herbal tea, which combined with the above mentioned natural caps, will entirely cure and get rid of the nasty and unpleasant side effects that cold & flu possesses, this includes coughs and sneezes as well. If you like to sweeten up your tea, don't use common sugar found in stores, use brown sugar or honey instead which by itself only, is a natural antibiotic. Besides all these, just try to get some rest, sleep properly, and don't overdue yourself.

These natural remedies have been used long before our so called ''modern civilization''. They have been given to us by mother nature, as beneficial tools to improve our lives both physically and mentally. Unfortunately today, modern man has the tendency to alter everything that is good and pure, and reject any natural, traditional medical treatment, as a result of the modern society conception. If we pay more attention to our ancestors and their spiritual knowledge and the heritage that they have left behind, we might find the right path that we all have been looking for, that is a path of wisdom and inner peace, a path to natural healing and spiritual life.
