Cold & Flu 'Home Remedies'

Inspired by what I just posted on another thread - let's list some weird/funky 'home' remedies you ladies use when you get sick!

Here's a few of mine that come from many generations in my family lol:

- For fevers: Dip sicks in vinegar and wear them while keeping warm.

- For coughs: Put oil on a newspaper, and then put it on your chest with clothes on top.

- For coughs also: Add sugar to a pan once it starts getting brown, add milk and let it boil. Drink it warm.

Okay, who else has some??? I can't be the only one lol

chicken soup -mommy's recipe- for the cold and the soul

I've never done it but FH has before. He usually has the ginger whole and says the texture is bad but it helps. You can also have the ginger they give you with sushi.

the ginger helps with an upset stomach - they actually sell ginger pills to promote digestion - we used to pop these on sunday mornings in college it always helped me! (that and a greasy egg sandwich lol)
