Zicam/Cold-Eeze/Airborne- Whenever I feel a cold coming on, I usually start on one of these supplements right away. Since I was out of town, I missed out on my narrow window of starting when my symptoms began. But I have had really good success in the past with warding off colds. I prefer Airborne because it's the quickest way to get it over with :)
Sinus rinse- I have heard about people using Netti-Pots to flush out their sinuses but never thought about trying it myself. I decided to give it a go and bought one to use last night. If you've never used one and have any sort of nasal congestion or allergies, check it out! It was equal parts disgusting and fascinating. It's sad that I can't wait to use it again tonight!
Vitamin C- Since I'm not the biggest OJ fan, I like to boost my levels with Emergen-C and this vitamin C lozenges.
HEAT- A hot shower has never felt better. I'm also going to yoga tonight (in a 108 degree room)!
Claritin- This works like none other! I usually use it for allergies (since it's non-drowsy) but whenever I have a cold it helps dry me out.
Lysol- If you give me a bottle of Lysol I will go crazy. Those germs don't stand a chance...
Hot tea- I love Yogi Cold Season tea. Similar to a fortune cookie, each tea bag comes with a message of inspiration. Last night I was told to "Develop your Intuition" which I found quite intriguing given certain events unfolding in my life right now.
Soft tissues- Nothing is worse than a raw nose :(
REST- Sunday I stayed in my pajamas until 4:00, which I never do!! My body didn't want e to do anything, and to be honest, it was kind of exciting to take some time off. Even a miserable cold has a silver lining :)
NettiPots are the best!!!
