...down with something. 
Curled up beside the stove with a hot poitin with lemon, honey and cloves. But it feels like there's an elephant sitting on my chest.
What's your favourite remedy when you're under the weather?

I ended up sitting for hours in a very cold community hall at a meeting last night. Hopefully the poitin and a good nights sleep will do the trick. |

I know so many people who have had or have it right now and there is only one cure for it. As much water as possible, 2 paracetamol every 4 hours and plenty of rest. With that combination you’ll be right as rain within 4 days every time you get a cold.
Man flu is much different though. It’s definitely a life or death situation and should be treated as such  |

Prepare a good strong hot whiskey with cloves, lemon and brown sugar. Put about a foot of hot water in your bath. Get in, fill the bath with as hot a water as you can bare. Steep for 15mins. You should sweat like a demon. Dry off and go straight to bed. You should feel a lot better in the am. |

Drink lots of water, hot water with fresh lemon and honey, ginger tea if you are nauseous. Paracetamol and as much rest as possible. Exputex if you get a cough.
Beyond that, time is the healer, if you're not feeling better in about 5 days you may have a secondary infection.
Just recovering from it myself. |

I had it a few weeks ago and dosed myself up with the usual over the counter stuff and promptly failed a drug test at work!!. Most if tge stuff we buy ( benylin,covonia, daynurse/nightnurse, solpadene contain opiates which shiw uo in a D and A test. So had to take a week off. Just be careful guys as you will most likely fail a roadside drug test as well. |

Thank you all for the well wishes and advice. Taking the Benylin got me feeling well enough to remember to make myself a nice healing soup. I would always make this for my kids but never think of doing for myself. |

The best medicine is a Chicken broth made using organic chicken, leek, celery and carrot. Simmer for a few hours. Drink it hot.
