Speedy COLD CURE you need this winter.

No one ever wants a pesky cold—especially not now, when every cough and sneeze is suspect. Yet CDC researchers say this season’s rhinoviruses are spreading fast, and many of us will battle at least one stuffy-headed cold in the next few months. 

The good news: These study-proven healers can help you shake off even miserable symptoms in record time

Dip into carrot soup

Chicken noodle has been the go-to remedy, but sipping a cup of carrot ginger soup daily when you’re sniffly could help you recover 60% faster plus cut risk of future colds in half. University of Connecticut scientists says, carrots orange pigment (beta-carotene) strengthens and heals the membranes lining airways, so viruses find it difficult to spread. While ginger lowers down the symptom-triggering inflammation more effectively than painkillers.

Add this to nasal rinse

Are you fighting cold. Then just use a saline nasal rinse once daily. This will help you breathe more easily. University of Pennsylvania researchers also say adding a pinch of baby shampoo could cut recovery time by 60%. Credit goes to gentle cleansing compounds, which loosen and flush out mucus, plus quickly dissolve the barrier that germs use to hide from immune cells.

Putter outside

When you’re fighting a cold, that half hour you spend puttering around your yard at noon does you a world of good. Spending 30 minutes outside daily, cuts your symptom severity in half, and trim four days off your recovery time, British studies suggest. Explains Michele Antonelli, M.D., daily exposure to sunlight and fresh air significantly reduces your production of the immunity-weakening stress hormone, cortisol.

Breathe in a little steam

“A steamy shower can open sinuses, reduce airway inflammation and relieve congestion,” says Jordan Josephson, M.D., author of Sinus Relief Now. To boost the benefits and cut recovery time by up to 75%, put 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil on a washcloth in the shower. Stanford University researchers say its aromatic compounds act as natural decongestants.
