Are there any home remedies that you take or recommend for when you have a cold?
Sometimes great-grandmas recipe for a home made elixir actually worked to help fight a cold.
Working with the public, one can pick up all kinds of bugs, and I think I feel the start of a cold coming on.
I made a concoction of minced garlic, habanero hot sauce, Braggs Raw Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar, lemon juice and honey.
I downed it in two swallows.
Tasty?
Not by a long shot, but I am hoping that it'll fight whatever bug that I may have picked up.
So, what are some of your home elixirs that you swear by to fight a cold?

Sounds like you made an immunity shot or some are called welness boost. There are recipes on google. Hope it helps.

Hot water with honey and lemon juice in it. I use a lot of honey. This is taken after I have symptoms.

A cool mist humidifier soothes the nasal passages and throat.

@SharkE Can you yodel? I went to Google to get the spelling and just watched a 12 year year old girll sing the yodel. She learned it from a tape & book - go watch - she's in pink cute as a button. If you can learn to yodel perhaps you'll be able to gargle. The bad side is you could 'drown'.
P.S. I thought everybody in TEXAS could yodel...........................A state requirement
