A few days ago my brother called me and asked if I knew of any natural remedies for a cold.   I could tell as soon as I said hello that he was sick, but I was surprised to hear that he’d woke up that morning feeling the way he did.  He literally sounded as though he’d been sick for weeks.     Before we talked about the natural remedies, I asked him if he’d been getting enough rest and if he was under any stress.   Just as I suspected, his stress levels were high with work, and his sleep was little.   I explained that it wouldn’t matter what natural remedies he tried if he didn’t get the rest that he needed and tried to cut some of the stress out of his life.   I offered him a few suggestions on natural remedies and I also suggested that he go online and order a multivitamin supplement to ensure that he’s getting the vitamins that he needs each day.   He promised that he would as soon as he felt better.    When we hung up, I decided to go online and order them for him, since I knew he’d forget.   Now all he will have to do is remember to take them.
