Also, we must not forget our ayurvedic tradition. Incorporating the goodness of ayurveda into currently practiced nutrition is akin to having a double-layered protection. Thus tulsi or basil is a herb that one could chew on or brew into one’s tea or gravies. It is not just effective against colds but is a potent antiviral agent. It can also be had in capsule form available at most pharmacists.
Here is another simple but effective formulation for fighting colds: brew a concoction that has three parts cinnamon and two parts ginger and drink this a few times in a day to help combat a cold.
