Cold remedies

[labtester]

Does anyone have any good cold remedies? I am looking for other ways of treating a cold other than medicine. Thanks!

Most common traditional ones are:

Honey & echinacha tea
Eating Garlic
Taking vitamin _
Drinking lots of Orange juice & water
Chicken broth
Rest
warm baths
Light cardio work out (if no fever)
massage (if no fever)
gargling with warm salt water (for sore throats)

Thanks! I have been reading Maria Menounos' new book, and she suggests zicam. Has anyone tried that? I think I'm going to try that; I usually only take vitamin C, and that never really does the trick quick enough for me.

hot toddies!!

they use to have these shower fizzy tablets. put in the shower and the steam/vapor helps as you shower (not for baths) forgot who made them, and not sure they're out anymore (i hardly ever get sick) but i used them once before and i stayed in there till there was no more hot water!

My cold is very much gone. Zicam really worked. I'm so glad that I read that in maria menounos' book. I would have never known. Thanks for all the help; I will be more than prepared next time it's cold season.
