- An Ayurvedic way to prevent Cold ( that I was told to follow & I did ) is - A mixture of 125 gm Vekhand + 25 gm Jyeshthamadh + 10 gm Pimpli. ( There are the names used in Mhahaarashtra & also in the Aurvedic Shops in Mumbai). The powdered mixture, a half-spoonful is to be taken with honey & warm water every morning. If one wants, one can also take it at night, but not with hondey, just water. It makes one resistant to the cold ( Jukam) . - A remedy to stop increase in the Jukam , once you feel that then onset is comimg - Take 1 or 2 pills of the Homeopathis med. 'Nutrum Mur 30X. ( This was recommended to me by a Dr. I have found it to be quite useful. Upto 4 pills can be taken , I am told, if the jukam is going to be strong). Very effecitive. With personal experience, I would jusdt like to caution is that, take the least no. of pills should be taken at a time. If a person can do with just 1 or may be 2 pills, that should be ok. (Because, I have noticed that it sort dries up the mucus, and so, a unnecessary overdose could lead to a minor choke-up-like feeling.( This I am mentioning from personal experience). But it is a effectice treatment no doubt. - Another remedidy one to stop onset of Jukam ( cold) is to tak ethe Ayurvedic pill 'Trishu'. That too is effective. ( I have tried that too personally). - But ( i have found that ), Trishum or Nutrum Mur wont be that effective if Cold --- Jukam--- has already set in. They are more useful if taken when a petson feels that an onset is coming. - If one gets frquent cold ( jukam) in spite of everything, then one remedy that was given to my mother ( & which solved her Jukam problem more or less for the whole life, is - Take Wekhand powder. Put it is a thin cloth & make a 'potli' of that cloth ( ie wrap the pader in a thin cloth, so that it is easy to carry). That powder whould be 'smelled' ( soonghna) from tme to time. This can be continued for up to 3 - 6 months. This a Vaidya's remedy ( given to my mother by her father, who had studied Auyrveda) , & I have personally seen its efficacy with my own mother. - Of course, increasing one's immunity by way of proper food & diet & habits is very useful. - Subhash S Naik more  

Hygiene alone isn't sufficient , we should also boost the immune system to prevent the frequent cold that is caused by virus .The 3 vitamins that are essential to boost the immune system are : Vit C – General belief is that the citrus fruits are high in C content , so we go for the costly Orange . But actually the Vit.C contentment in Indian AMLA CONTAINS 20 TIMES MORE C THAN THE ORANGE. Vit E as a powerful anti oxidant . Can go for Sun flower seeds, Sapota and Green tea . Vit B6 – Fresh Green leafy vegetables - Indian spinach [malabar and Ceylon ] and coriander leaves , Mint leaves . more  

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. All kinds of ignorance is purveyed on the internet and some of it deliberately. Washing hands frequently and with soap if possible is probably the single most important thing one can do not contract flue or cold. Should try to get a flu shot if practical. more
