O cold remedies? (O code wemedies)
Dear Cinnamon,
I know how you feel. I am the same way today - feeling YUCKY. (I did LOL
about the feeling like pizza bit, though).
What has made me feel much better today is:
-Having the bath that Betsy posted (recipe below).
-Having a sauna last night.
-Pumping up on every vitamin I can get my hands on and have INCLUDED in
that, a fantastic remedy (that you can actually get in the US from what I
know!!!) by “Green Medicine Company” called “Clear the Way” It is a mixture
of Chinese herbs that I find really helps clear the symptoms!
8 cups chamomile tea (bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 chamomile
tea
bags and boil for 15 minutes)
1/3 cup of epsom salts
1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide
Pour all three ingredients in a hot tub of water (do not scald yourself).
Soak in the bathtub until the water is no longer warm. (Some people have
sensitive skin and should NOT put this on their face while in the bathtub.)
Let me know how you go

Ack, with all the people sniffling, sneezing and gacking around me, I’ve
succumbed. Today had a rather quick-onset lower ear-into-throat raging sore
throat - the kind where it hurts to swallow. And some wooziness too. The one
home remedy I’ve tried is pouring a little hydrogen peroxide into the ear
canal (gently of course), which helped some but not enough. Am taking wild
oregano capsules (I feel like a pizza, not that I want one, I just feel like
one) and also had some nasty-tasting astragalus and american ginseng (tube
of the Chinese remedy). Am using a humidifier, and just stuffed some
essential oil of the wintergreen or similar variety in it to help clear
things.
What, pray tell, would the ER4YT group recommend? Thanks. Am staying under
covers with laptop for next couple hours.
