Top 12 Herbs and Spices to Get You Through the Flu Season
9. Zinc
Zinc is a great way to kick a cold to the curb. Taking zinc at the first sign of a flu can often stop it in its tracks and prevent it from kicking you straight to your sick bed!
There are zinc lozenges for sale, and combining zinc with elderberry tea is the sure-fire double whammy. In fact one study showed that taking zinc regularly helped to prevent colds! This study was done at John Hopkins School of Public Health and published by the Cochrane group. This is great news because there aren’t many other remedies that seem to stop colds from happening. This study involved 1,360 persons, and is proof positive that zinc is a great way to stop colds and shorten the duration of the flu should you become infected.
Zinc interferes with the ability of rhinoviruses, the bugs that cause colds, to reproduce. It also stops them from being able to sit on cell membranes and cause infections.
