I would also recommend using cayenne pepper, which contains massive amounts of vitamin C, is an anti-inflammatory, and helps the heart. If you are a wimp when it comes to spicy food, then you can also use apples, raw apple cider vinegar, bananas, pineapple, raw honey, oregano, and elderberry. Also, plenty of sleep, Vitamin C, and lots of water are important. Emergen-C packets are great in water. Neti-pot, nasal sinus washing will also clean out mucus. Avoid sugar, unhealthy carbs, and heavy amounts of caffeine as well. Replace with natural honey, whole grain carbs, and lots of vegetables and fruits. I have asthma and severe sinus problems. Although I have struggled through the winter this year, I have not gotten bronchitis or had any serious lung problems. At the first onset of a cold, sleep, drink lots of water, and take vitamin C. As with any medication or natural remedy, do your research and find out if it's right for your health condition and in what amount. There are too many details to list here on the benefits of each of the above recommendations. Continue to see your regular physician, but definitely research the benefits of food and herbs to cure conditions naturally.

I don´t like onions and garlic so don´t eat them very often but the water regimen helps me keep healthy as also with #1 and 3 on the list.
