Cures for flu

dragonettedragonette, posted over a year ago

I was sick as a dog this weekend. My best friend swears that whenever she gets sick it goes away if she drinks a glass of whiskey. So I decided to try, and I didn't get much out of it other than a technicolor yawn =(

Anybody out there know of any other good ways to beat the flu?

I'm not sure about the flu..but I know that when you have a sore throat you should chew on raw ginger its scratchy and will take away some of the pain. Or eat a really hot chilli pepper or drink warm rum mixed with lemon and honey.

These remedies have worked for me and I'm pretty sure it would work for you. Have you tried googling? Or you could try vicks vapour rub for your blocked nose.

And anyone who is in the first stages of the cold I recommend vicks first defence. It really works! Surprisingly.

I think you should try googling some remedies, that might be the best way to find them. Get well soon. x

Vina, thanx =) I was more curious about the "odd" things that people recommend you, that's why I didn't google it. But I'll give the ginger and chili peppers a try =)

Another similar one to the rum thing is boil coke/pepsi with slices of ginger and some honey if you REALLY can't stand the taste of ginger.

I know! Ginger tastes HORRIBLE! You have been warned. But its worth it because it works. Before you put it in your mouth have a glass of water close by. You'll need it. lol
