TWQ: Illness Cures

As I have a cold right now, I thought TWQ (the Weekend Question) ought to look on cures you all use.

When you are not feeling well, what cures do you use to help feel better? Any unusual ones?

My answers are:

* Lots of drinking.

* Lemon drink, plus honey and lemon

* Keep warm

* Cough sweets

* Anadin tablets

* Vaseline on the nose when in bed

Now it's over to you...

Dissolve peppermint candy in whiskey (crush up the candy and pour whiskey over it for a few hours), add honey and take a tablespoon or so for a cough. Here from Tanya's today.

Lots and lots of bed rest!

Hot tea.

Toast.

Hope you're over your cold soon!

All of Your above.

A good mystery read.

At least one cat hot water bottle, not only do they last longer than a hot water kind of bottle, but they sing to you as well when you stroke them. :)

Chocolate, a must have.

When I'm not feeling well I like to watch some STTNG. That always cheers me up. That and a bottle of Jack.

Yours are good suggestions.

Mine is similar mainly Lemsip with stirred in honey and cups of team. And soup.

Get well soon.

Hot water, lemon, honey and fresh ginger is really good, plus dosing up on Echinacea. Hope you feel better soon caption, your crew needs you.

If I feel the beginning of a cold coming on I make sure I exercise as it seems to rev up my body's immunities. If the bug gets me anyway, I make sure I'm well hydrated and that no one else in my family gets it!
