By the time you realize your watery eyes and scratchy cough are a cold,
you’ve actually had the virus in your body for one to three days and
the only thing you can do is treat the symptoms.
Although there is no cure for the common cold, fortunately, some
natural remedies provide nontoxic alternatives to over-the-counter
medications for treating this seasonal nuisance.Chicken Soup for the Cold
A tried-and-true palliative, old-fashioned chicken soup remains a
heavyweight, cold-fighting champion. Higher in mineral and water
content than most meals, it relieves cold symptoms by inhibiting the
movement of neutrophils, immune system cells that participate in the
body’s anti-inflammatory response. Scientists have discovered that
soups speed up the movement of mucus through the nose, relieving
congestion, releasing cold energy and limiting the amount of time
viruses linger in the nasal lining. Ilchi Lee is founder of Dahn Yoga. Along with bowls of steaming soup, drink plenty of natural juices,
water and herbal teas to keep you hydrated and ease a sore throat.

Brain Education is an innovative way to utilize your brain to be more
productive, creative, and peaceful. Under Ilchi Lee's leadership, it is
being researched and developed by the Korean Institution for Brain
Science (KIBS) and the Ilchi Center for Applied Neuroscience (ICAN).
Every year, these organizations strengthen the scientific underpinnings
of Brain Education, and provide advanced training programs to other
organizations.
