Ahhhh! Its finally happened at the start of my days off I'm sick!!! Someone save me here whats a good natural remedy?
 
Not sure if a flu "shot" is a "natural remedy"? I get one every year-no flu.
 
We've not had colds in a very long time....we wash our hands several times a day...if we go out shopping, grocery store, etc., first thing we do is "wash our hands with soap and hot water".....

Alka-Seltzer Cold & Flu is pretty good (from what I've heard)....And at the first sign of a sore throat, suck on hard candy...keeping the throat moist at all times....And I always wear socks to bed....(dunno if that actually helps any) :giggle:...
 
Nyquil is good. It makes you sleepy so that you can get some rest. And chicken noodle soup, of course. Hope you feel better soon.
 
Nyquil do not help me SLEEP! I stayed wide awake grr! SO that does not work for me.

I let it go and just rest a lot...drink a lot of fluid, that's about it.

Being sick does sucks!

Nyquil kick ass for sure. :D I havent been sick last two yrs b/c of flu shot.:cool2:
 
I like the neti pot
but a basil and garlic tea works as well, though it taste like the vix vapor rub. Eww
hot totties works pretty good, especially if you want sleep.

A flu shot will not help if you already have the flu. My last flu shot was in 1995 and only got the flu once in since I had that shot. Now watch me come down with the flu!

Alke Seltzer rocks! I also would recommend honey and lemon tea for a sore throat.

I use the sinus rinse that comes in a squirt bottle. I use it often in the winter months since the wintery dry air and the dry air from running the heat is hell on my sinuses.
 
Cold-flu natural remedies

The best natural remedy my grand-mom use to give me while I was younger is, make a hot tea add some crushed basil leaves, 1-2 pieces of pepper, ginger (dry would work too), boil it for 5-8 mins (take 2 cup of water and boil till it becomes 1 cup). This would definitely help you.
 
NyQuil will make my Meniere's kick in so I don't do any medicine unless I'm almost going to die(even then, I hesitate).


I usually just do Progresso Home style chicken soup and intake some orange juice as well.
