I've got a cold and it's making me miserable as hell. Has anybody got any good remidies which might help me clear this thing before Chrimbo?
Take a bottle of beer, warm it up like you would eat a very warm soupe, drink the bottle and go to bed and sleep it out. You will sweat a lot but the cure helps me to get very fast over a normal cold.
Salt: Salt is one of the best I found out. One teaspoon for one glass of luke warm water, mix well. Go to the toilet and suck the water through your nose and spit it in the wc. In that way you kill all the germs sitting in the nose and clean the nose.
You can fix a pot of steaming hot salt water, inhale the salty air having a big towler over your head to catch the steam going up. Its like a face sauna, hot like hell but carefully breath in the hot salt air.
Pine or spruce needle tea, thymian tea are great to give ease to your cheast.
Trink a lot of water!!! Thats real important.
If you do all of that and sleep a lot you will be ok at christmas!
cheers
