What is your secret home remedy for a cold?

Recommended Posts

I always have flaming hot cheetos or something very spicy (habanero salsa) to drain out the congestion.

Burns so GOOD!



Yeah - both ends - I'm not into self torture.

I woke up with swollen throat glands AGAIN.

Drinking some hot tea to soothe them...any other suggestions?



I can give you a special Protien Gargle

I'm telling you people...1000 mil vitamin C every four hours...I've stopped two colds at first symptoms in their tracks this season.
it keeps those viruses on the run like scalded chimps!

stay warm, sleep, and stay well fed.:)

That does seem to work for me too. Doesn't eliminate the cold, but it sure seems to be an extremely mild one then, instead of the "usual." and by using chewable vitamin C, I can pretend I'm eating candy :)

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

**DING!!**
Works every time. And throw in a Zinc tab and two Echinacea along with it. Turns your digestive tract into a domestic disturbance for a few hours, but it's worth it.

yep got to watch that with C , I just pop a couple of tums when the gut burn starts.

I'm still traumatized by what Dr Divots root oil might be:|- somehow I don't think a "spoonful of sugar" is going to cut it for most people.:D

Sinus congestion - Pressure - Post nasal drip - Sore throat

Mucinex 1200mg twice daily
Sudafed
Hydrate yourself well (half a gallon+ water a day)
Salt water gargles /Motrin for sore throat.

If you have known allergies, +/- Claritin/Zyrtec.

Most resolve in 5-10 days.

Save yourself a trip to the Dr. for me to tell you the same thing.

My concoction works pretty well every time I have: sore throat, cough, sinus congestion.

my ingredients: whiskey, lemon, honey, and chopped up ginger. Bring it to a boil, for about 2-3 minutes.

Top it off with a steam bath + 8hrs. sleep. You'll be as good as new.

No medications needed
No side effects
21 + over only please.

Bed, completely covered up with many blankets and sweating it out.

When you quit sweating, the cold is gone.


If you want to play it for all it's worth, get the SO to run back and forth fetching stuff....soup, vitamins, whiskey, etc.
:D:D

My reality and yours are quite different.
