Garlic is one of the more popular home cures for colds. Many cultures have a home remedy for the cold using garlic, whether its chicken soup with lots of garlic, a drink made with raw crushed garlic, or if it just involves eating raw garlic.

According to WebMD, people who have colds can get nasal relief from pressure and congestion by properly blowing their nose. This is better than sniffling, which forces mucus to go back into the head. It is important not to blow too hard because this can allow phlegm and germs to make their way into the passages of the ear. The recommendation is to place the index finger over one nostril and then carefully blow the other nostril.

Another way to reduce and treat cold symptoms is to sleep slightly elevated. WebMD recommends resting on two pillows in order to clear the nasal passages for cold and sinus allergy relief. If using extra pillows doesn't feel comfortable, try slightly raising the mattress by putting the pillows on top of the box spring underneath the mattress.
