Topics Discussed in this Episode:


6 natural remedies to shake off a cold


The benefits of an Epsom salt bath


The benefits of infrared sauna



Key Takeaways:


When you’re ill, you double down on what you eat in a positive sense.


The intelligent thing to do when you’re sick is to go to bed.


If you really are ill, the responsible thing to do is to be at home, in bed, and not spreading the virus about.


An Epsom salt bath is really good for detoxification. It has sleep-enhancing properties and is really good for easing the body.


Raw garlic can be very good when you’ve got a cough or cold or a chest infection. It’s quite a good prebiotic.



Action Steps:


Eat well, especially when you’re sick. Give your body all the nourishment it needs to fight off infection.


Try these remedies for when you catch a cold or flu:




Get total bed rest to help your body and support your immune system.


Have a nightly hot bath with Epsom salts.


Get infrared sauna treatment.


Take raw garlic. Chop the garlic and leave it for 10 minutes before consuming it or before heating it.


Drink double or triple doses of goat milk kefir.


Take high-dose vitamin C (after consulting your doctor)
