I always used to have a great immune system!
Maybe it’s inevitable with a child in school, me working in a school etc but I swear we get more colds than we used to… I only had one the other week and feel like crap again already!

I used to be plagued by every cold going, with weeks of post nasal drip coughs long after close contact with schoolchildren was over.

Someone recommended a clove of raw garlic crushed between spoons first thing in the morning with a full glass of water chaser. It's not the most pleasant thing but totally worth while. I can literally feel my sinuses drying up.

I did it for a good few weeks until I finally (sic)) noticed that all trace of mucus was gone. Reinstate it at the first trace of a sore throat or stuffiness which might indicate a cold coming.

Also eat as many fresh raw leafy green vegetables as I can cram down my throat but really feel it's the garlic that makes the difference.

Does it cause garlic breath? I am always paranoid after I eat garlic in case it’s on my breath!
