At first hint of sore throat, I gargle deep with hot salty water. Use only Iodized salt.
Follow with listerine or Dr. Tichenor’s gargle.
All gone.
At first hint of diarrhea, eat some probiotic plain yogurt.
And then— this will sound weird— drop a spoonful of the yogurt on toilet paper & wipe with it.
Thorough hand washing every step is imperative.
The probiotic re-balances the good bacteria in the GI tract.
At first hint of pinkeye, wet a cotton ball with water, squeeze it, wet it again with white vinegar, pat the eye.
Stings like heck for a second, then gone.
My cold & fever go-to is NyQuil or a hot toddy of lemon & honey water, with a Halls Eucalyptus lozenge.
For head & chest congestion, tablespoon of thyme in boiling water, breathe the steam.
Warm chicken noodle soup with a dash of thyme works too.
My cold & fever go-to is NyQuil or a hot toddy of lemon & honey water, with a Halls Eucalyptus lozenge. ............................. Tea, lemon, honey and schnaps works great. Even as a toddler my parents gave it to me. I still use the same ingredients today, but I did add more schnaps to it. I don’t have a cold, I have a red tide allergy problem, and its like a cold with no fever. usually 2 24 tablets ends it, but I’m on 3. Nose drip is still watery. maybe 2 more days of it? If not I’ll tell my Doc I have a bad cold and he’ll tell me its the allergy again. Chicken Soup, the Brooklyn remedy, used it for years. If I have a fever, its chicken soup time. Tomorrow is the snowbird flu season, on its way south.
