Sore throat/cough/cold remedies

I really hate taking pills and cough syrup. so I've just been drinking a lot of tea. Problem is, my cold and sore throat never manage to go away. Is there anything you recommend?

 

I usually go the tea route too

simmer water with ginger and lemon slices, put into cup and add honey, that really helps

vanilla rooibos tea is good for the thraot too (at least, it is for mine)

but then, it doesn't last for more than a couple weeks at most for me, my throat only gets sore when I'm sick

 

For a soare throat gargle some salt water
It tastes nasty but it works really good

 

once I feel a sore throat or a cold coming on I start with echinacea tea to boost my imune system. for the cough honey and lemon, and a ginger tea will sooth your throat. sea salt gargles are also a good remedy. i do this when i get a cold and it never last more that 2 days

 

your immune system is exhausted, you are probably exhausted and malnourished. take some minerals and get plenty of bed rest.

 

garlic!
honey, osha, yerba mansa, ginger.
rest.

What's osh and Yerba Mansa?

 

Yogi tea throat comfort works wonders

 

i totally agree. It kills all those nasty germies that are making you ill. it has a vulgar taste, but it's worthwile in the end, and you'll feel better in no time!
