Sorry about your cold. I was watching Dr. Oz today, and he had Dr. Low Dog on. She is not only a Medical Doctor, but an outstanding herbalist. And she was talking about colds.

Something called Unka Biloba (not sure of spelling) for colds.

Thyme Tea with lemon and honey for cough - honey is a top cough suppressant.

Sage Tea to gargle for sore throat

Steep the leaves for 10 minutes, strain and add 1/4 tsp salt. Gargle several times daily. This has tested in lab to be as good as lidocaine.

Marcella, I thought you might be interested in this too.

Here’s a link for more info on Dr. Low Dog. I attended a seminar on health where she was a featured speaker, sponsored by a hospital in St. Louis.

Ginkgo Biloba
Just google it. There are a ton of medical web pages with information on it's usefulness.
