Natural health: Shake off a head cold with rest and fluids

Rest and fluids are crucial to recovery from a head cold but it's important to choose the right kind of liquids.

It can be quite difficult to completely shake off a head cold once it sets in. Our bodies are wonderful at dealing with coughs, colds, and flu if our immune system is strong and we are keeping on top of our stress levels – unfortunately, this is not always possible.
