Top 12 Herbs and Spices to Get You Through the Flu Season
11. Cayenne Pepper
If you like it hot, then this remedy is for you. Although many people only think of cayenne pepper for their Latin American, Southwestern, and Asian foods, it can work great for that clogged up head. When you have a cold or the flu, adding a good dose of cayenne pepper to your chicken soup, tea, whatever you are eating, it will seriously help clear up those sinuses.
Once mucus begins to leave the body, the relief of many flu symptoms soon follows. It also helps the body produce saliva, which can help soothe a sore throat. It stimulates the lymphatic system and that can help remove viruses from your body through its detox action. Cayenne peppers active ingredient is in a compound called capsaicin, which is a natural pain reliever as well.
It has strong antibacterial properties, too, so if you are hit with the stomach flu, making a tea or soup with some cayenne pepper in it can help kill the bacteria causing your symptoms.
