    Lemon ginger tea and if you have access to therapeutic grade cold pressed oils peppermint oil (tastes horrible) in water helps to clear up some of the creeping crud. It's also fantastic for the associated aches and pains in water.

    The best natural pain killer though for me is oregano oil I use it topically and cut it with pressed grape seed oil because I have an allergy for coconut oil, but that works too.

    Here's a few other home remedies that are raw friendly if you have access to them:

    Runny Nose- I rub a small amount of Lavender Oil under each nostrils and also on the bottom of the feet. Lavender Oil is a natural antihistamine. If your can swollow a veggie cap try 3 drops of Lavender, Lemon, & Peppermint in a capsule daily.

    Sore Throat- I drop 3 drops of Lemon Oil on the tongue and swish it around or place 2 drops of Lemon oil & 2 drops of Melaleuca Oil in a small amount of warm water and gargle it.

    Fever- remember that fevers are the body's way of fighting off the cold/flu naturally. We tend to treat a fever as the enemy when it is actually a friend, unless it spikes too high. Peppermint Oil rubbed on the feet every two hours will naturally bring down a fever. I also rub it behind the neck. Use coconut or grape seed oil to cut the oils if you are sensitive.

    Feel better soon!
