It's that time of year where germs are being passed around like a hot potato. I despise colds- headaches, stuffed sinuses, fatigue, and everything else that comes with it! Even though I take as many precautions as I can to prevent colds entering our house, it seems inevitable that one sneaks in. There are lots of medicines for colds, but I prefer natural remedies. Not the chopping onions to make your eyes water and nose run, kind of homeopathic medicine. (Even though it works) I prefer the more scientific based remedies.

5 Natural Cold Remedies
For those of you with a spa membership, this is a great opportunity to head to the steam room! The rest of us will make our own. There are a couple options for homemade steam. 1- Take a hot shower or bath. Not only will the steam loosen your sinuses and relieve that pressure headache but you'll also relax your muscles and body aches. 2- Another option is to boil a pot of water on the stove. Be careful not to get too close to the hot pot! If you're in a pinch I've found running hot tap water will work too.
