[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 313295, member: 35964"] I dont tend to get cold, a bit of a scratchy throat at most, I am lucky. Plenty of warm drinks, eg herbal and fruit teas, with freshly squeezed lemon and sweetener and a couple of paracetamol if necessary should do the trick plus lots of TLC and snuggling down on the sofa with a soft cuddly blanket... Heated coconut milk sweetened and infused with cinnamon or fresh ginger is soothing as well, add a spoon of coconut oil to it as well, its supposed to be anti-viral. I also collect elderberries every year and freeze them, they are said to boost the immune system and are said to be a very good cold remedy, there is a product on the market, google Sambucol for further information, but why pay out for something that you can easily make yourself and it costs next to nothing to make your own elderberry remedy, the elderberries are delicious, stewed and thickened with a little bit of jelly, we eat them with ice cream. I hope you dont get a cold, stay healthy, keep your bg in check. All the best :) :) [/QUOTE]
