Just got a cold on Valentine's . After three days of lemon tea with tons of honey and cough drops I was looking for something different.
I was trying to avoid some Portuguese traditional recipes to cure colds and sore throat like chewing cloves , does anyone have more recipes or ideas that might help?
Thanks !
The cough drops you can by at the pharmacy with Lidocain are also very good.
oh, and great idea for the feet and vicks, we do that too!
oil of oregano on the feet with socks after is great for fever...

I had learned this from a friend also, she said her kid only stopped coughing with this method. I wonder if there is any specific age for kids to use this substance, can 2 year old use this?
Thanks Tilia.
Should I find it in an organic shop - the salvia?
This is the first time I hear of this oil, just amazing! And there are more applications for it!

Thanks a lot !

How do you use the garlic? I ́m afraid I just can't chew it as it is as difficult as the clove ! Do you actually eat it?
Thanks !
best of luck!
take 10 tsp honey, add to it ginger juice (grind it), and grinded holy basil leaves. heat this mixture a bit. Have 1 spoon every 2 hours and dont drink water over it immediately.
The sore throat will be gone in a day, and it tastes quite good
