Household remedies against colds - Katrina - 09-29-2020 So… not sure this is the right subforum but as it involves natural ingrediencies I think it should fit here. I caught a cold during the weekend and am currently down with fever, sniffling, coughing, headache and a sore throat and overall feeling sick and tired. As I am not a friend of taking artificial pharmaceuticals and meds for every little ailment, I try to rely on household remedies. In our home this is drinking a lot of water and hot tea, hot milk with honey, chicken broth and inhaling with saline solution. So I was wondering, as we have many different people from several countries as members in the forum: Do you rely on household remedies? If yes: how do they look like at your homes? Are you relying on the same things I described above or do you have other things you swear on? What works for you? Looking forward to replies and on learning something new to try out.

Oh I used to do that to my babies when they were congested, vicks and booties. It works. RE: Household remedie against colds - Tommy - 09-29-2020 I recommend the following home remedies: hot lemon tea, unsweetened iced tea with lemon, drink plenty of water, one large glass of orange juice with pulp every day, Halls Vitamin C supplements, homemade soup, Campbell's chicken noodle soup, plenty of rest and plenty of sleep. RE: Household remedie against colds - Alex - 09-30-2020 OJ and fresh air. We rarely get more than the odd sniffle. The key is to keep your immune system healthy.
