3. To Boost
your immune system
a.Vitamin C capsules 1-2
grams daily or EmergenC (powder) 1 pack every few hours (up to 3-4 packs per
day as tolerated or can do Vitamin C capsules from Pure Encapsulations
(liposomal form for better absorption)) (EmergenC lite if you have high blood
pressure or diabetes). Remember too much Vitamin C can lead to loose stools, so
just reduce the dose if that occurs.
4. Allergies/Runny
nose
a.Antihistamine (i.e. D-Hist
or Quercetin or Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec (may make you drowsy))
5. Limit dairy
products.
6. Use Beeswax
inside nostrils.
7. Apple Cider
Vinegar 1TBS in 8oz of water with raw local honey. If you have postnasal drip,
sleep a little more upright. If possible, may use the humidifier at work or in
your car. *Of course, use the humidifier
when the air is dry. If it’s too humid, try a dehumidifier. I also like a HEPA
filter and ionizer to clean out the air.
9. 8.Essential oils (can use through a diffuser): Breathe & Peppermint (helps congestion) and Onguard (boosts the immune system). Can obtain from our website: dgoli.com under products, Doterra. *Avoid eyes
1 9. If you’re not lightheaded or
dizzy or vomiting, ok for activity as tolerated. I actually like to go for a
gentle walk as it gets things moving. Ok to exercise as tolerated. I actually
feel better.
11 10. Sore throat: Humidifier
for sore throat and congestion. Have the humidifier by your head when you
sleep. Gargle with saltwater 1/2
-1tsp of sea salt in 8oz warm water. Gargle for 30 seconds & spit out. Do
this at least 3x/day to help ease a sore throat. This can help reduce inflamed
tonsils. The salt will pull the excess fluids from the inflamed areas and help
get rid of the bacteria or virus that is there.
