Cold Tips

A friend of mine at the first onset of a cold would drink as much OJ as possible and then crawl back in bed and sleep. She claimed it worked wonders.

I usually try to drink a lot of juice, water, hot tea, hot lemonade... Sometimes will add cayenne pepper to the hot beverages to get my nose to run. I also use Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap in the tub/shower, really get things all steamy. Nasal rinses..

My bro swears by airborne, but I haven't had much luck with it. I will increase my vitamin C intake, though.

Hope you're feeling better. Take care!

Wellness Formula. You can get it at Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods.
but the key to getting over "a cold" is like the search for the holy grail for me.
always thought "this time I will get over it on my own" but I never have, alas.

I eat lots of garlic and rest. If I get worse I take ester vitamin c 500 mg every 2 hrs during the day- 4000 mg maximum.

Zicam - it's a miracle "drug"!!! We usually keep two boxes on hand in the closet at all times, plus my dh carries one in his rig with him. I missed restocking this past time and really missed my Zicam when I caught a cold.
