There are plenty of things I typically use for a cold, but I have finally streamlined the process for at least on of my children to simply coconut oil, since it seems to work especially well for him.
My 19 year old was starting with cold symptoms and simply doesn't have time to be sick between work and school. He is not home enough to easily dose with frequent vitamin C and vinegar tea, etc.
I just gave him 1 tablespoon of coconut oil morning and night. He readily takes it knowing how it helps him. The cold lost the wind in its sails quickly and I only dosed him for a few days.
I turned his morning dose into bulletproof mocha coffee but he took the evening dose off the spoon.
Here is how I make mocha bulletproof coffee for him:
- 1 cup hot coffee
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 Tablespoon blackstrap molasses
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Blend in vitamix.

Since I started cooking with coconut oil, I have noticed that if I do catch a cold, it lasts maybe half as long and the symptoms are milder.
