could be old wives tale or not - but i do this when i have a sore throat

gargle warm salted water = several times a day

plus i sipped lots of honey in my hot water -i can go through a large bottle of it in a week- i know swallowing hurts - never did do the lemon tea thing - i drink tea usually straight -

hugs to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Yahooey 

I cannot gargle.  I have too much of a gag reflex.  

I made hot lemon tea with fresh lemons and honey.  It's very soothing for sore throats and coughs.

First sign of a sore throat and it was off to the bathroom with warm salt water gargle.  Then at night mom slapped on or slathered my chest in Vicks vaporub.  I was prone to bronchitis.

@qualitygal 

Yep, Vicks.  My grandma kept some in her purse.  She would put it on her forehead if she had a headache.  She swore by it.  LOL

Hello Preds and Friends!

I've had no adventure.  I was on the couch, did some laudry, back to the couch, did some work, back to the couch, and I'm back on the couch again. 

My throat feels like it's on fire and feels like sandpaper at the same time.  

Hope you're all well

when i was a kid - Vicks was a staple in the home - i havent used it in decades

the purdy deep blue/purple glass jar - is it still like that?

i wonder if it smells the same

some things bring u right back by scent

Noxema, PlayDoh are 2 i will always remember

---

@Yahooey 

It smells exactly the same.  It looks exactly the same.  I think the jar is plastic now instead of glass.
