This article reveals what cold and flu is all about and how it enters the body of humans. First, according to many findings in the natural healing discussion boards and forums I’ve read, flu or cold gets into the body more easily when the immune system weakens and had less resistance. Now, the question is when do this happen? (Full photo credits to www.webmd.com).

Low body resistance happens when we overuse our body to make it tire out of the days chores and activities. Usually, working yourself out till you drop during night is the most common. Sleep is when the resistance of the body naturally develops and if you don’t use it for this purpose but instead to work harder for some reason, your body starts to weaken and resistance lowers. If and when this happens, immune system is also low. This is when the body generally turns acidic and a bit off with moisture.

You see, we all live in an environment where bacteria is a medium of everything. The stuff we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe are all full of bacteria. Some of them may be helpful but most of them would be unwanted. When these unwanted bacteria sets in the body through the nose, ears, eyes and mouth, the openings should be full of immune bacteria but when you have low resistance and immune system, you get the cold and flu and any welcoming disease that could possibly get in your body. This is when the human gets sick.

Also according to discussions and forums I’ve read, when the body get heated up in fever, it is a natural reaction by the body that has detected something is wrong inside and has gone berserk in the body system interfering with the natural healing powers of the body. And since the resistance is weak, the illness sets in and gets into those entry points I have stated in this article.

So what are the natural remedies for your cold and flu when we are talking about acupressure and pressing points in some parts of the body? What is the real first approach for this sickness and what should be done more than just take western medicines and drink it. We all know that these pills might just do some suppressing to the body system that it may actually put you more in danger so I would like to suggest to try free natural remedies instead. Apart from they are free, you won’t need to drink anything but lots and lots of water for body moisture to regain and reset your body acidity to ward off bad bacteria and help create a body condition and  environment that is not favorable to them.
