Cold & Flu

It's that time of year people end up with the sniffles, just wondering what old style remedies people use instead of splashing out on expensive medicines. I like to drink orange juice in the morning for prevention...vit C.

I make up a hot drink with the following...

a chunk of ginger
half a clove garlic
honey to taste
plenty lemon juice to taste
3/4 pint boiling water

Leave it all to stew and microwave a mugful at a time - drink hot.

I also believe in sleep, sleep and more sleep when you are poorly.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice, even alternative remedies, is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board).
