Natural COLD/FLU Remedies???

[Tev]

knocked down with the 1st cold/flu in years, are there any good natural khmai/herbal folk remedies to try??

could use some good good somlaw machu sraiiiii right about now!! =/

[Matique]

I don't know any Khmer type stuff, but all I can really say is down a lot of water or juice. Maybe even alcohol. I was sick one time and went to a party...I woke up feeling better minus the slight hangover. No more sore throat or sniffles and sneezes :D

[khmeroldiez]

Not a whole lot of traditional Khmer remedies that I know other than coin rubbing.

[Tev]

ya know, my dad recommended some alky too! and isn't nyquil like 12% alky? so yea..

his theory is the alcohol kills some germs/virus. who knows. imma stop by at the liquor shop.

a great reason to get drunk before happy hour =D thx oun

[Sam Nong]

try sucking on zinc, you could find it in 'cold-eeze' cough drops.

Babaw always makes me feel better no matter what. My comfort food. :D And of course the coining. :}

I'm with you 110% on this! Bawbaw ALWAYS makes me feel better whether I'm sick or just having a crumby day. It's soul food to me! And I love coining. It hurts but the relief I feel afterwards is all worth it.

I guess the main remedy I use when sick with a cold is OJ! OJ and dayquil always helps me! Remember, drink Apple Juice- OJ will kill you!

How about echinacea (tea) it helps abridge the common cold and flu. I usually buy it at drug store or grocery market. Hope you get well soon. :)

[SimpleSam]

U know whats good, fire cups, and hot stones. When ever I get sick I mistake it with my alergies, being that so cal weather and polin seem to work with each other. My alergies has become my flu, but a quick dose of zyrtec im good to go!

[khmeroldiez]

Not sure if any of you guys know that feeling that you're about to get sick but during that moment, increase your Vitamin C intake and you should feel better and help prevent getting sick.

[Tev]

and..still feel like shiett, imma about 2 snort a few lines of fairy dust to feel foineeee :)

watchin 'bird flu horror' movie on SyFy. fmlllllll

[Azi]

Hope you feel better Tev. I just barely got over a cold + sinus infection. It lasted two weeks and my face was hurting so bad I couldn't figure out why. Never had a sinus infection before this. Use a humidifier at night if you have trouble breathing.

[champe82]

Try to know when you're about to get sick and then you can pamper yourself so you wont get sick.

I hope you feel better soon.

[Tev]

Alcoholic will weaken your immune system and make you more sick dude. Try having something with a lot of nutrients/vitamins, fresh fruit smoothies, orange juice, tones of water, and spicy food.

[Discreet.]

Also, if you have a fever take a hot bath, and dress quickly to try to keep in the warmth.

This might sound a little gross, but grab a few oranges and limes. Squeeze the juices into a cup and throw in a pinch of salt. Down it and you should feel better soon. Otherwise, treat the symptoms 'cause there's no quick cure.

[Ousa]

Listen to everyone's advice. just stay in doors and drink lots of fluids.

[Lucas]

If I know i'm getting sick I just go to the store real quick and buy some all natural OJ and down it all day. Try to rest as much as possible and no alcohol.

[kagnyaroth]

I normally try hot tea, freshly squeezed lime, and honey. When I'm done squeezing the lime I also drop the lime peel inside the tea so that it actually soaks up the peel, but remember to take it out when it turns brown because if you don't it'll start to taste funky. My grandmother used to make that for me every time I was sick when I was little and every time I get sick and do that I ALWAYS get better within days (:

[khmeroldiez]

Listen to everyone's advice. just stay in doors and drink lots of fluids.

Sleep, sleep, and sleep. Lots of it.

[Tev]

[Mizz_Luv3r]

Time to take some Mucinex now to help thin out the phlegm! Drink a lot of water, 'cause that helps too. If your sinuses are bothering you, take Tylenol Sinus or Sudafed.

[Tev]

[madagasdams]

natural remedies for cold

Drink plenty of fluids
Stay warm
Vaporize it
Drink chicken soup
take a rest

[KHET]

Get well soon don't forget vitamin S there a nasty summer flu going round.

[Ivan]

Not a natural remedy, but shit works for me.

Rice soup with chicken & ginger, eat the ginger, keep the soup plain. Take an Advil for headaches, you'd be better the next day.

[urpimped]

Go to the beach and lay beneath the shades of a canopy with your stunners on and a cooler full of ice cold beer...while checkout the talents on the beach... well at least the thought of it makes me feel better...

[Ivan]

Don't know natural remedies but I just drank two doses of children's Benadryl and I feel like I'm flying. Mama said knock you out. Oooooweeeee

[IQ WRESTLER]

sleep is the most important thing then exercise. i rarely get sick and i don't take medication. the human immune system is amazing,dont compensate it for a few hours of relief with pills.

[Pahok]

បុក.. អរគុណ តែខ្ញីរមៀត :lovestruck:

[leftear]

A cup of orange juice a day would probably prevent you from ever getting sick in the first place. So I guess everyone should start off there

[HerMajesty]

absolutely true. I used to get sick so much years ago, til I was pregnant with my son. Always craving orange juice, and he and I rarely get sick. Last year, my kids ate a lot of oranges...3 each a day...and not one got sick. A sniffle here and there, but thats it.

[takki8x]

squeezed lemon and salt and a couple DROPS of water..about 2 tablespoons mixed..anymore ur face will most likely get stuck a sourface. my dad use to give me this when i was really little.....oh wait..crappers..this was for the throat!.....
NEVERMIND....just go to the drug store dude.

[mz_kimmi_dee]

Getting plenty of sleep, keeping hydrated, and eating garlic, ginger, and fruits. If all fails day/night-quil is your best friend :)

Dayquil and OJ does it for me everytime.
