sore throat / cold remedies ?

[mike]

hi does anyone know of any remedies for a sorethroat/cold? other than gargleing with salt water?
thanks.

Whiskey usually works for me, for the sore throat atleast. Try gargling some peroxide maybe. Take a shit load of vitamin C for sure.

Water. Drink alot of water-- enough so you're pissing every half hour or so at least. Also get alot of zinc in you. I like green tea as well when I'm sick along with plenty of rest.

try the 'throat coat' tea .. taste good too

try hot toddys: hot water, honey, lemmon juce, and whiskey to taste. sometimes I add fresh ginger root. also I chew licorish root or ginger to sooth sore throat.

anything considered mucilageonous is good for coating and soothing the throat. flax mallow (not marshmallows!!! the plant!) honey, just look up the word in a herbal youll find whatcha need

Honey soothes like none other... unless you're allergic or something.

Use eucalyptus oil for the cold symptoms. You can put some really hot water in a bowl with some eucalyptus oil and keep a towel over it. then stick your head in there with the towel over your head and its like a steam treamtment. It is amazing. You only need like 5 drops of eucalyptus oil for a big bowl of water. Clears up sinuses.

nah. you can gargle peroxide, if you can get past the taste... what you DON'T want to gargle with is rubbing alcohol... don't ask me how I know. bad shit.

there is yarrow growing like a weed, most everywhere right now
you some of the root, chew on it a second (itll make you mouth go numb) and then swallow it it will make your throat numb too
also, mugwort helps
and alcohol
i drink twice as much when im sick
it makes the coughing go away, i cant take cough syrup it makes me puke so i just constantly drink

I hear the Sergeon General agrees that quitting smoking now may help prevent sore throats, icky coughs, blindness, and temporary loss of intelegance, also it. . .

wait a sec, smoke break.
