At the moment our household has the lurgy. Winter cold, chesty cough, aching all over.

Has anyone out there got any good remedies for colds, or any ailments for that matter?
 
Hi, hope you are feeling better and dont need the remedies anymore. Just in case, the usual home remedies which I follow are honey+lemon juice in warm water for (sore throat , cough), a dash of ginger in a tea cuppa is great for cold/coughs generally.
 
Black tea, a squeeze of lemon juice and a shot of whiskey mixed together. Just sip on it while it's hot.

Go into your bathroom and turn the shower on with full heat to steam it out and just go sit in there for a bit. You don't have to be in the shower, just sit in the steam.

Ginger tea.

Steaming is a great option to try (y)
 
i just recently got sick too started off my thursday morning with a sore throat & minor coughing now saturday turned into congestion, coughing with phlegm, chills, & a minor headache when the temperature is only a nice 72 degrees
 
There are a few things. Anything with a sore throat find a health food store or an herbalist who has Frankincense (the actual little balls of sap, they might be labeled "frankincense tears"). Drop a few of the tears in the bottom of a coffee cup and pour boiling water over it. Sip it as soon as it's cool enough to stand and breathe in the steam. Myrrh is great for anything respiratory and can be taken exactly the same way, though I find it very bitter and unpalatable. I take powdered myrrh in capsule form instead. Mullein leaf is again good for anything respiratory, I harvest it wild and dry it to use all year long. Similarly bitter and gross but it helps. If you have a diffuser, diffusing essential oils can be really good for keeping your sinuses open. Tea tree oil works really well for most people, I am unfortunately slightly allergic so I use peppermint and a few other things I can't remember the names of at the moment. A couple of brands have a mixture with a name like "breathe easy" and those contain the stuff I'm talking about. Don't diffuse citrus oils in an enclosed space with animals, especially cats. But I find that keeping a diffuser running beside the bed while I sleep helps keep my sinuses open while I'm sick.

Before bed pop a shot of brandy or rum into a tall glass add a good squeeze or spoon of honey and a couple slices of lemon top up glass with boiling water stir well drink while hot, get in bed extra duvet on and a little Vic vapour rub on your chest you'll feel better in the morning 👍
