Thanks, Pete! I’ve been down this weekend with a mega-cold. Ugh.
Kind of surfacing today after 14 straight hours of sleep. ;)
Glad you are feeling somewhat better! Sounds like a good day to stay in bed. (A bit late for Radio Church! :) More Good news is that it is a Packers by-week! You can rest and get well instead of sitting on the couch watching TV and yelling at the Packers.
(I think you know about these herbs already, so info for others!)
Some gardener herbs for colds / flu: (Of course, per standard WebMD boilerplate “here is no good scientific evidence to support many of these uses.”!)
Cat Mint (Nepeta cataria) Tea, tincture from leaves;
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) tea, tincture;
Elderberry (Sambucus Canadensis Nigra IIRC) tea and tincture.
Possibly Dandilion root tea, according to this research. ! Dandelion extract inhibits SARS-CoV-2 in vitro (In vitro, needs human modeling!) and Common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) efficiently blocks the interaction between ACE2 cell surface receptor and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein D614, mutants D614G, N501Y, K417N and E484K in vitro
(Of course, per standard WebMD boilerplate “here is no good scientific evidence to support many of these uses.”!)
There are other things. Quercetin and Ivermectin in Applesauce and stuff. (Tonic water too!) I imagine Little Jeremiah would have some other herbals for you!
(Vitamin D3 5000 IU and zinc and C and tinctures of the above; Mix tinctures in a shot of Svedka Mandarine vodka and go to bed!)
