Cold and flu season has been here for awhile . Here are some home remedies people and inmates at the prison have been giving me.

"bq."The flu has hit many of my coworkers here in SC. I myself have suffered with a cold. Since this has been going on and I wont go on my vacation for another week,I thought I would just share a few home remedies that people are suggestiing.

Boil an Onion and drink the juice! This was give to me by an inmate that was trying to help cure my cold! Im not brave enough to try this yet!lol. Gargle with salt water. This one is even given out by the medical community,the nurse at work suggested I do this. It seemed to do some good. Make a tea of Cheyene Pepper,Honey,Lemon and some other spices. I tried it once,.I had a hard time drinking this. It was suggested by an old land lady of mine' A drink of hot whiskey, Honey and lemon.Also known as a hot toddy' Most of this stuff helps the cough. Thats all I have for cold and flu. This one is suppose to be for hiccups. Drink pickle juice. If any of you try any of this I would be interested in the feedback! Stay Healty and Have a great day! reneti
