At the first sign of a sore throat our go to is Sambucol. It's expensive but very good. I can usually get rid of the sore throat before it becomes a cold but hubby recently got a full on cold so used both the liquid and capsules and was over it in 5 days. He usually waits to get a cold before he starts taking it. There is also the Immuno version which we have used in years gone by when we were going away and didn't want to catch a cold during our holiday.

For cold/flu use tea,honey,lemon & dark rum. Also use VitC daily & echinacea liquid, Blackmores have a very good advice on their web & can ask advice from the Naturopath

Eat a natural source of vitamin C every six hours (thats 3 servings total throughout the day, my favourite is a whole mandarin or a kiwifruit). Our body depletes vitamin C by the 6 hour mark and vitamin C is crucial for immune cells which are constantly on the battlefront losing numbers during illness. Natural sources of Vitamin C are much better than pills as they tend to be more bioavailable and come with a bunch of other goodies/vitamins/minerals. Plus with exclusively natural sources of vitamin C it is hard to overdose and natural sources also count toward you 5+ a day servings of fruit and veg. For sore or dry throat use honey as it is a natural humectant. To reduce inflammation have homemade tumeric tea by combining honey, milk and turmeric powder with boiled water. Aim for 6g total turmeric powder throughout the day (e.g. you could have 2g for breakfast, 2grams for lunch and 2grams for dinner = 6g total throughout the day) but don't go over 6g. Many studies have confirmed that compounds in turmeric are just as strong as non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs that you get prescribed or over the counter. Have some cold pressed extra virgin olive oil with your food as the massive amount of vitamin E in it makes it a strong anti oxidant. A lot of free radicals (reactive oxygen species or chemicals that cause damage within the body) are produced during an immunity battle with a virus so loading up on natural sources of anti oxidants like tomato paste/lycopene or olive oil/vitamin E is a good idea. Drink lots of fluid as doctors often recommend as dehydration means more work for your body. Our lymph system is a fluid system after all and it aids our immune system.Edited 28-Jun-22 19:29pm

Och aye definitely a hot toddy mctoddy. I remember taking care selecting lemons and lovingly making a potion with honey on the hot stove for daughter when she was a teen with a cold. Delivering to her darkened sanctum guided only by the blue light of the laptop. She would have a few sips and then i would find it a few weeks later with expensive probably more effective mould growing on the top.

Whiskey Rum and Brandy are useful...in that order

My Grandma always use to make us a Blackberry tonic for winter

I like hot lemon drinks with honey for a sore throat :)

Take vitamin c.

Yes. Though I don't know any on in memory.

Homemade chicken and garlic soup is good for you during this time. Also hot tea with lemon and honey or you can just do it with honey. If you have a cough and sore throat then raw honey is good for that. The most important things are lots of rest and to keep yourself hydrated. If you are not sick yet then just maintain a healthy diet, exercise and sleep your 8 hours. Vit C is good for the immune system to help prevent getting a cold and can reduce the time it takes to get better. Not a home remedy but I take some ibuprofen for aches and pains and to help reduce symptoms.Edited 28-Jun-22 16:30pm

Along pumpkin soup, all the other ones might be good, one have to experiment which is the best for him. Herbal teas are really good as well.

Paracetamol for pain, 4-6hrly, lemon and honey in warm water 3x a day, gargling salt water is also good for a sore throat, cough medicines can be helpful. Melting a cough lolly in a table spoon or 2 of boiling for a child can be given (when it's cooled down) in a 5ml syringe 2-4x a day. With lots or rest and drinking fluids helps too.

Boiling the Vick's pot. You just have to keep a close eye on it, but the vapors go all over the house.

1/ Cock-a-Leekie.... or any other form of real chicken soup is remarkable restorative when you feel run-down and depressed in the winter cold. 2/ Chew fresh parsley to get rid of bad breath. Or put it in the food when cooking with garlic and here will be less garlic bread around. 3/ Garlic is a great tonic any time. So is vitamin C.from eating an orange or a kiwifruit. Home remedies however do have their limits. Edited 28-Jun-22 15:49pm

VAPOR SHOWER- APPLY VASOLENE OVER YOUR BODY WHEN SHOWERING.

Chicken noodle soup

Garlic...Lots of Garlic....

Ginger, lemon and garlic minced together and served in a cup of hot water. All of the ingredients are anti bacterial so this is almost a medication.Jewish penicilin or hot chicken soup is a remedy but it does work.

yes all the time they are the best forget the so called doctors

If you feel a cold coming on and have a sore throat eat plenty of fresh raw garlic, it is not easy to et but if you can maage it you will be surprise how quickly it works

Fresh lemon juice of one lemon, hot water, a teaspoon of honey and a good sprinkle of ground ginger (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon). It brings the temperature up and you sweat it out. Take this with early night in bed, and the next morning you feel much better.

Home made chicken soap is soothing and easy to digest when feeling unwell with influenza.

Lemon, honey and boiled water

I swear by homemade chciken soup to cure a cold

Lemon and honey mixed with hot water

Chicken noodle soup and whiskey or bourbon in hot water with honey and a lemon slice or blackberry brandy

Why not, they work for minor things.

Any soup is ok. I like sweet corn and chicken but definitely NO chili. I once had clam chowder in USA and was great.

Hot milk with scotch 2 Panadol and sweat it out with blanket on high

Yummy pumpkin soup

Love homemade pumpkin soup!

Yes Hot lemon and honey drink just before bed is good and white onion put honey on top leave for a couple days in a jar and have a teaspoon each dayEdited 28-Jun-22 11:17am

I don't do any of that

Garlic is really good and also lemon, orange juices I honestly haven't had a flu or a cold in years. Did get a little gastro from some where a few weeks ago. I don't know where I got it but wow it cleaned me out. Plus a friend of the families ended up in hospital because he was running at both ends and he needed a drip of fluids and antibiotics. Poor man I do hope he is better now, I am thankfully.

Yes {1} take a flu jab from the doctor. {2} Pure lemon juice from freshly squashed lemon, use small clean pot, bring it to boil for for 2 minutes throw in 2 disprin tablets. sip it like you're drinking whisky, {dont burn your mouth} repeat may twice a day, specially just before going to bed. try that

Freshly made chicken and veg soup, freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon tea with honey and garlic in everything

Can't say that I do.

It's a yes please to your pumpkin soup, chicken broth is another well known remedy also any other soup with lots of bone and veggies plus the chilli factor very good for clearing nasal passages even though they bring a tear to your eye, even those ducts need a bit of a clean out. Does anyone still stick a towel over their head and a bowl of steam hot water with some herbs thrown in as well? Hot water with freshly squeeze lemon. I've also found that eating a couple of nice juicy oranges and just the process of swallowing when you have a sore throat seems to help ... a bit like massaging a sore muscle with ointment to "push the pain" out of the system.

Home made chicken soup as I don't get colds it's for others in the house. Dr insists on a flu injection the last 2 years and I never get flu either. Might get a sore throat so just take honey or honey & lemon.

My dog got Kennel Cough from being at a Vet. A table spoon of honey & a bit of water twice/day. Dog was completely recovered within 5 days. Neighbour paid nearly $1000 vet treatment for her dog. Thankyou home remedies Edited 28-Jun-22 09:32am

have home made cough mix, glycerin, honey, vinegar,eucalyptus oil, works well, plus take odourless garlic tablets every day and bit of Vitamins D and E during winter

my mum sleeps with a bar of soap at the base of her bed not sure why but she swears by it

Chicken soup with a bit of garlic is a favourite with our family when they have sore throat or sniffles.

chicken & vegetable & potato soup is good for those cold winter days! Right now its way to Hot in California for any of that

An cup of ginger tea with splash of lemon

I never use any remedies for a cold & flu.

add a glass of rum to your soup, but put it in last so the alcohol doesn't "steam off".

Apple cider vinegar every morning.

Honey and Lemon, and good slathering of Vicks Vaporub.

I don't have a remedy but really like your Rewardia name it's awesome.

Caviar and Champagne.

chicken soup

Can't go by putting a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl of hot water and putting your head over it, covering yourself with a towel and inhaling deeply for a while. Then off to bed with a hot lemon juice and honey drink. Stay hydrated. Rest up, eat a balanced diet, laugh lots and get some sunshine if you can.

fresh lemon juice with likewarm. better stil, chew the skin

Whiskey & lemon in hot tea works great!

just getting my one point ;-))

chicken soup, the old stand by cure all ;-))

Boil some oregano and drink it like tea without the residue that takes everything away especially pain and nausea

Cinnamon has many benefits...ever wondered why you are offered Cinnamon to be sprinkled on top of your hot drink at the café? It is not only for the taste. Food is medicine.

Soup is good as solid food is hard to take when one is sick usually. Bed rest but the best cure is to keep away from the sickies. The flu has hit here in Oz now and people are dying from it and now the 3rd wave of Covid has hit. Masks on for me and washing the hands, keeping away from people etc. I have had 4 covid and the flu shots so hopefully this will keep me safe and well.

Cup of black tea with lemon and honey

Teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar daily. Cures everything from abrasions to zenophobia
