[quote="Chibi_Neko"]On remedy we use is molassas. A big spoon full of this stuff will coat your throat and sooth the pain. To get rid of the cold entirely, try drinking ginsingor green tea..... lots of it. Keep sipping it throughout the day even when you are not thirsty. The herbs in these teas are natural cold fighters and the liquid will flush the germs out of your system, if you go pee a lot, then that is a good sign,[/quote]

It's a potent antibacterial and used as medicine in a lot of places now. Tastes really yummy too!! <br /> <br />Take a teaspoon of it and let it slowly run down your throat, if you can. Then take a teaspoon of that, in hot water, with lemon juice and a pinch of ground ginger. Leave the ginger out if you really have to, but it's really good to include. You could do the same with garlic too!! <br /> <br />If you're losing your voice from it or it's feeling raw, then apple cider vinegar is your friend. Take just a mouthful if you can stand it raw, or a teaspoon in water, and you'll have your voice back and it'll be soothed. It's great for soothing coughs. You can also add a teaspoon of cider vinegar to the manuka honey, lemon and ginger drink too if you're brave!! <br /> <br />As Chibi Neko said, ginseng is great, green tea is great... or normal tea if you can't stand herbal stuff (though limit the sugar, as bugs thrive on sugar). <br /> <br /> <br />Avoid cough medicines as the vast majority don't work!! And avoid sugar, processed foods, and anything too sweet. Drink lots and lots of water.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Chibi_Neko</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2008 3:34 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">On remedy we use is molassas.
