#329 | MM - Prevent & Heal Upper Respiratory Infections

Sore throat, cough, congestion, headache, fatigue, body aches, fever...

There is no cure for the common cold.

In fact, these common symptoms associated with an acute upper respiratory infection (URI) ARE the cure to the common cold!

It is not a sign of ill-health to "come down with a cold" once or twice per year. In fact, allowing the immune system to adapt and evolve is very helpful and important to keeping things in balance.

However, more frequent URIs can be a nuisance, and also a potential indicator that the immune system is a bit taxed or out of balance.

In today's Medicinal Monday we discuss strategies to fortify the health of the mouth/throat and mucosal immunity to prevent upper respiratory symptoms while also discussing the powerful ways to support healing and balancing from these acute symptoms naturally.

As always, you can join us live each Monday at 12 PT / 3 ET on the Alter Health YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/alterhealth

Some highlights from today's episode on Throat and URI Symptoms...

• How the mouth and throat (and nose) are designed to neutralize and expel toxins and pathogens
• Why there is no cure for the common cold, and what we can focus on instead
• The nutritional and lifestyle factors that chronically put a strain on immunity to create more vulnerability
• How understanding terrain theory vs germ theory can empower us in health while also helping to make sense of objective reality
• The most effective natural remedies for URI symptoms including hydrotherapy, vitamin/nutrients, and herbal medicines
