Reply #38: Ginger tea

[LiberalEsto]

I start drinking it at the first sign of a cold.

Other things I do to prevent/shorten the life of a cold:

Mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water. Dip clean cotton swabs in it and use to clean out your ears and nostrils - one swab to an orifice, naturally. Gargle with the rest of the mixture.

Neti pot - wonderful for clearing sinuses.


Tea for a chest cold:

1 black tea bag
1 peppermint tea bag
honey
lemon juice
dash of cayenne pepper

Use the teabags to brew a pot of hot tea. Add honey and lemon to taste and stir in a dash of cayenne pepper.
