Garlic
Garlic contains a lot of antiviral and antibacterial properties. Therefore, this popular kitchen ingredient can improve the immune system and aid in fighting against the virus causing your cold. It also helps with blood circulation to ensure the usual body functions. You can add several garlic gloves to your soup to ease the symptoms. Keep in mind to clean and chop them around 10 minutes before including so that allicins can be released. Another option is to crush the fresh clove and add honey, then chew and swallow the mixture quickly. [2]
