3 Proven Home Remedies for the Winter Flu

As winter fades and spring emerges, many of us struggle with lingering colds. Phoenix Medical Centre offers three proven remedies to help you beat the post-winter sniffles.

1. Steam Inhalation

Steam inhalation clears nasal passages and relieves congestion.

How to do it:

- Boil water and pour it into a bowl.

- Add a few drops of eucalyptus or peppermint oil.

- Drape a towel over your head, lean over the bowl, and inhale deeply for 5-10 minutes.

2. Hydration and Herbal Teas

Staying hydrated thins mucus, making it easier to expel. Herbal teas provide added benefits.

Recommended teas:

- Ginger tea:** Reduces congestion and soothes a sore throat.

- Chamomile tea:** Promotes relaxation and better sleep.

- Peppermint tea:** Acts as a natural decongestant.

3. Rest and Nutrient-Rich Diet

Adequate rest and a nutrient-rich diet are crucial for recovery.

Diet tips:

- Vitamin C:** Boosts your immune system (e.g., oranges, strawberries).

- Zinc:** Shortens cold symptoms (e.g., nuts, seeds).

- Probiotics:** Enhances immunity (e.g., yoghurt, kefir).
