Any home remedies for colds and flu??
Question: I'm stuck at home with no med's feeling like s**t! Any suggestions that can come out the kitchen?
Answers: Just lots of bed rest mate, and some nice soup :-)
olbas oil and hot water in a bowl, kepp your head above with a tea towel over you and breathe in the steam.
Ginger is great for a cold. Grate some(about a teaspoonful) into hot water, add lemon juice and honey.
One of our home remedies for a really bad chest cold is to take two or three cloves of garlic, pound them until the garlic goes translucent, then add three tablespoons of honey and mix till the garlic has evenly mixed. Take a teaspoonful of this every four hours. Onion soup is very good too, when made with milk.
Cinnamon tea is very helpful too. Get well soon!
The best most natural one I have found is lemon
and chopped ginger
boiled in water for 5 mins gently
then sweetened with honey
ginger is anti inflamatory so really good properties for a cold
Also if you buy elderberry juice (ring a friend to buy ingredients if you can )
the unsweetened variety its an anti viral
so taken early enough can prevent the cold from taking hold
I have found,
along with the jiuce of oranges
for high doses of natural vitamin C
eucalypuus oil for putting on tissue to inhale (de congestant)or using with a tea light burner (about 5- 10 drops in water ) good room antiseptic for lungs
I wish you well and peace
Hot honey, lemon and ginger.
Garlic, cayenne, and goldenseal act as natural antibiotics and fight infection and reduce fever.
Honey and lemon juice soothe sore throats and ease coughs.
Dairy products cause excess mucus build up, and sould be avoided during a cold.
Stay in bed and drink lots of fluids (not alcoholic!!!!!)
I often have lots of water and a couple of cups of tea. It doesn't cure it but it helps as it keeps the body hydrated and better equipped to fight the virus
My sure fire cold remedy. Once an hour, drink 4oz. of Borboun or 12oz. of hot turnip juice. No, not just liquor....alternate.
Squeeze a lemon into a mug, add a spoon of honey and hot water. A nice bowl of chicken soup is great. I always find a really spicy curry with loads of garlic in it helps clear your head too. Wrap up warm and make sure you keep your fluids up.
Hope you feel better soon.
Grandmothers recipe for treatment.
1 tablespoon of powder mustard in a hot bath, soak for 15 minutes, then wrap up warm and sweat it out of the body.Or go to bed. Cut up two lemons and boil with little sugar and honey to taste, and drink whilst hot.
Garlic, it's a very powerful pathogen destroyer.
Hi, I know how you feel, have got it myself at mo, I have either hot lemon/orange/blackcurrent with a teaspoon of honey and either whiskey/brandy a couple of times a day, usually make sure i have one before going to bed at night, just take in plenty of fluids, hope you're feeling better soon
There is no cure for the cold virus..... medications only relieve signs/symptoms associated with having a cold. The only way to cure a cold is to let your body's natural defenses (ie helper and killer T-cells along with the antiferon) take its course of action!
i just start popping vitamin c, 2,000 mg at first, then 1,000 every 4 hrs.
lots of fluids, keep hydrated, and flush the system.
garlic is good, chicken soup actually has some stuff in it that clears your head, i add hot sauce to it too.
sleep, sometimes i use nyquil.
also, just found this info
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon Luke warm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the
sinuses.
i have not been able to kick my cold this time, but am going to try the cinnamon thing..
good luck
Quite simply SEX!
Try it x
Lots of citrus fruits especially oranges (anything rich in Vitmain C) and water, also lemonade but no cold with hot water.
Make yourself a garlic and honey mix :
Crush 8 cloves of garlic and put them into a 340 gr. jar of liquid honey, keep it in the fridge and when you feel a sore throat coming on take it ! Now you have to take a teaspoon-full every 2 hrs.
Hope you feel better soon X
boiled lemonade with some honey any lemonade or honey will do. Also you can *** a little sugar if you wish, if not really hot and very very sweet tea
Get lots of rest. Drink plenty of liquids. Take aspirin or ibuprofen. Humidify your bedroom. Gargle with warm salt water in you have a sore throat. Take a hot shower and breathe in plenty of steam. Vick's vaporub works great. PREVENTION FOR NEXT TIME; Avoid people who have colds. eat well and get plenty of sleep and exercise. keep your hands away from your nose, eyes, and mouth when you cough or sneeze. wash you hands often. don't smoke. humidify your house especially your bedroom.

Lots of fluids. Enough water that you are peeing all the time! haha! Rest helps your body recuperate, so get plenty. Echinacea is good. I use Chamomile tea also. I helps me relax and puts me to sleep.
