Satdee Poll: Best home remedy for a cold/when sick?

[notsmokinjo]

So I have a cold, and as I sit here drinking my hot toddy I'm wondering what all my friends around the world do when they have a cold or are sick. This is purely the home remedies, things our parents or grandparents did to help us...it might be a placebo or there may be a scientific basis to it but what home remedy do you swear by...

 

These are just ones I can think of so feel free to share any others. I think this will have ties back to people's cultural heritage but ya never know.

Aww ...rotten colds ....sorry Hun ..get well soon ....

I have gone down the  Honey and Lemon route ..but if I feel sorry for myself I might add the Rum,Brandy and Whiskey all together ...

[notsmokinjo]

So I am torn between two.... The honey lemon is what I grew up with... the Vindaloo though, that works without fail, every time... guess what I'm getting for tea tomorrow.

I go with the chicken noodle soup, always helps but I would not snub a hot toddy.   Then there is good old fashion rest and fluids.  Get better Jo!!!!

[catlover]

I go for plenty of sleep, and hot lemon drinks. I like the idea of soft boiled eggs and soldiers too, takes me back to my childhood, when you would be cared and catered for in bed, who does'nt like a bit of that!!

 

Get well soon Jo x

It was a toss up between the hot toddy and vindaloo for me. Hot toddy won but I tell you, you've right put me in the mood for a curry now

[notsmokinjo]

I kid you not...go to you local curry shop and get an extra extra Hot Vindaloo . Eat . Next day huge improvement.

How could I forget tomato soup!

[Rozuki]

Homemade Chicken Matzo ball soup for me....along with lots of sleep and reading in bed! Hope you are feeling better, Jo! 

 

[notsmokinjo]

Sucking it up....with my Rudolph nose and my cracked swollen lips .. we have someone here from the Sydney office getting training, so yesterday I told him I kept sneezing because I was allergic to his aftershave... So today I sneezed and he said he had different aftershave on so maybe I was sick ??? No shit Sherlock!

 

....  So when we were sick this is what we got served as chicken noodle soup

 

So basically yellow water with little bits of noodle... I want @Rozuki soup.

Does anyone else eat crisps/chips to almost scratch their throat when they have a cold.  Is it just me

G’day

Chicken noodles got my vote in the winter regardless of a cold or not!

I manned up today and got my flu shot. Really impressed with my new Doc he’s really keeping an eye on me. He was the one who insisted I have one and organised it. It’s usually me that asks for it!
