Sickness remedies

[Red88_Tiger]

I currently have a head cold and thinking about things lve been told

1 - For a sore throat- rub Vaseline on the roof of the mouth as far back as you can go.
I tried many years ago but gag too much so I don’t know if it works

2 - 1 tea spoon of cracked pepper in 2 teaspoons of honey. Warm in microwave 20 seconds and eat. Clears blocked nose
Works for me

3 - chest or head cold just before bed eat ( mud chew for 30 seconds) a large garlic clove and you will wake up fine the next day. Was also told if you can’t handle the garlic have 1 teaspoon of oil to rinse over the tongue to numb taste
Now I have never tried this but has anyone heard of this.
It came from an 94year old who used to live at the back of the neighbour's she lived to 105

If that doesn't clear the pipes, nothing will. Can you even still get Bonox?

Saw doctor yesterday for bad head cold that's been going on for two weeks, and in my lungs. Mentioned inhalations, fluids, and lots of warm drinks. Also do the squirt saline up the nose thing (which I've started doing). Also got the feeling the doctor thought I was a huge sook. get better!

From the evidence, if you have a sore throat as an early symptom of a cold/virus use the betadine throat gargle or spray. It definitely works.

The earlier in the symptoms you use it the better it works (eg at tickle or mild sore).

The cold often still goes to the nose then to the lungs but the throat stage is less severe, and the next phases may also be less severe.

I regularly travel internationally for work and struggle with cold and flu. These days, first tickle or even after a plane full of selfish sick people (sick but no mask) I just start gargling anyway.

I’m am also convinced that eating raw garlic and raw ginger every day improves my health. Could be just me though.

more garlic and onion in your diet starting May ,thru to the end of the cold weather ,rawer the better.
If a flu takes a hold ,slather chest ,feet in Vick's ,drink copias amount of spirits ,2 layers of clothing and all the blankets you own , sweat it out .

Fresh herbal /honey drinks .Plenty of water sunshine ,vigorous activity , head down ,get your nose running and snort it out ,it will take a few days.Don't give up at the 1st sign of relief ,you need to kill it
