Natural remedies for a cold?
 

I think I'm coming down with a cold. Woke up this morning with sore throat, sneezing and coughing. What are some good natural remedies for the common cold? What do you take when you get a cold?

just suck it up :pimp

gargle pure pure pure salt water

ginseng, vitamin C + echinacea

Echinacea, zinc, vitamin C and lots of V8

The first thing I take is a few days off. Hop into bed and let your immune system do it's thing. Also, avoid spreading your cold onto others.

Although not a cure, taking lots of vitamin C does seem to speed recovery.

You should be over the worst of it in 3-5 days...

vitamin c , zinc, hot tea with lemon

take also "airborne"

sore throat - zinc lozenges

Tea + Lemon + Honey...

marijuana

garlic! you can buy tasteless garlic pills.
since you already have the cold starting it will shorten your sick time. once your cold is gone, keep taking them. they are great to take everyday and they will help to stop a cold from even starting.

damn dean we only talked on the phone and i got you sick....theres some nasty shit going around....everyone ive talked to is or has been sick the last couple of weeks

homemade chicken soup...

Yea - I was thinking the same thing - funny shit :1orglaugh

echinacea and lots of water, I think vitamin c is a prevented option so you would of have to be taking it for weeks before to help now.

Zinc, orange juice, and rest.

lol at the suggestions in this thread. amazing the effect quackery marketing has on peoples perceptions.

Lots of vitamine C, very hot bath. If the cold you cought is very severe - some aspirine. Also - hot milk with honey - serves you well.

there is no such thing as a cold remedy. there are only some things that can be done to stem the symptoms of a cold. conclusive proof of that can be found in the fact that in the year 2007 and after 10 - 20 million years on this planet... that question is still being asked.
:2 cents:

ginseng, zinc, oregano oil, lots of liquids and sleep.

I take a beer here :)

Hot tea with lemon...and I suggest doing something (work, games, etc) to make yourself feel better...

Just drink lots pineapple juice and have a nice sleep:)

Yes, warm beer if your throat aches.

And a lot of drinking.
