Reducing the amount of foreign chemicals and toxins in our bodies is vital for our well-being. Ingredients like acetaminophen found in over the pain relievers and fever reducers like Tylenol can be very harmful to our liver (<em>Limited Knowledge of Acetaminophen in Patients with Liver Disease, 2016<\/em>) and may weaken our immune system.<\/p><p>Natural remedies not only help to relieve cold symptoms, but also boost our immunity. Our immune system can be an important contributing factor in assessing our risk for contamination (<em>Goldrick, 2004<\/em>). A body detox can help, however, by cleaning out the toxins that cause the virus to build up in the first place.

If you already have the flu, it can help you rid your body of the virus much quicker.<\/p><p>A detox can also be used to help reduce the effect of medication used during a cold\/flu so that the immune system will not be further weakened.

When we feel cold, our vessels constrict, resulting in reduced mucus secretion, which is made up of different antiviral soluble mediators, causing an increase in the viral flora of our nasal passage. The supplementation of vitamin C can be used to prevent the onset of a cold. Vitamin C is necessary to produce collagen, which is the most abundant protein in mammals, keeping skin and various tissues tough but flexible.
