An old Chinese man gave us a favourite Chinese remedy.
Put a heaped spoon of minced ginger into a mug of Coca Cola and boil it in the microwave. Drink while hot. It is a delicious drink and clears the head, throat and nose quickly.
You can buy bottles of minced ginger, or grate fresh ginger, but ground ginger is useless. In Australia Continental brand minced ginger is by far the best.

Oh...is it?haven't heard of such thing before.Let me try it once and then comment.As far as i know, whenever one is caught with cold, he will have it for more day's and even taking medicine won't help in curing it fast...Your's is a new thing which is worth trying i believe....
Anyway's, thanks for responding

Maybe it won't CURE a cold, but it sure relieves the symptoms and allows normal activities.

Here is a delicious recipe for a cold and flu soup: Sauté 6 crushed cloves
of garlic in 1 tsp. vegetable oil until golden. Pour in a quart of beef or
chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and whisk in 2 egg whites.
Beat together 2 egg yolks and 2 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar; pour this
mixture into the soup. Season with salt and pepper and top with croutons
if desired.

I have cold right now and i had a cup of chiken clear soup mixed with pepper powder and got relieved a bit....
Yours is a new thing, and like to try this tomorrow..let me see how much it effects me....anyway's, cold will usually take a longer time to cure and maybe by doing all these , we get some relief in between...isn't it?

i take echinacea drops everyday during the winter months and it seems to keep my colds away. if by chance i do come down with a cold i use zicam, it is supposed to reduce your sick time in half. one remedy my friend does, is rub vick's vapor rub on your chest and neck and tie a bandana around your neck to cover it up and your nose will clear.

Is it....i have neverheard about this medicine.Just got to see whether it is available in our place .....zicam is good as i also heard from many people .But, they will reduce cold for some time thats all and not stoping it completely, isn't it? Temeperory relief can be done but to actually cure cold, it does take more time...isn't it? what do you say?

cod liver oil is the BEST cure! once u start taking it regularly, u will NEVER fall prey to any colds or throat problems.it is basically a preventitive measure. Cod liver oil is taken in winters. Its taste is really horrible, but the trick is to take it with your dinner or any food so that the taste doesnt linger for too long.

claritin D is my lifesaver...a friend suggested the neti pot to me. I haven't purchased one, but research it, it seems interesting. He said it cured his life long sinus infections
