Remedies for colds?!
Question: Can anybody tell me some good remedies (that actually work) that do not contain a lot of herbs (if it contains rosemary, its fine). but like remedies that use common household kitchen stuff. i need something for a sore throat, something to clear my sinuses (preferably something that does not taste horrible and i need it know so something that i do not have to go out and buy something cuz i don't have a car to take) something that will work right now, and something for my cough, get rid of an itching throat, and something for a headache. Any remedies for any of these symptoms would be great! Please, no jokes. I really need to get better soon and feel better. Thank you!

there's one that you take warm water, salt and light Karo syrup and sniff it up into your nose to clear it out and it loosens the mucus so u can blow your nose then.
sore throat, water as hot as you can stand it and mixed with salt til its cloudy looking and gargle with it, it will take the soreness out.
headache, rub your hands, honestly. or put them into hot water
cough and itchy throat maybe peppermint candy.
Ok I know you dont want something with a lot of herbs, or something that doesnt taste horrible, but airborne is great! It takes care of all the headaches, and sorethroat and stuf like that for me, so I would try it if I were you( you can get it at walmart, or costco, mostly anywhere). Drink lots of water, and hot soup always makes u feel a little better : )

a tablespoon of honey works great for a sore throat,and for the headache if you have lavender or peppermint oil,rub it into your temples and the base of your skull.
hope this helps,
feel better soon!
