I have had a really bad cold now for 6 days. It started off with a sore throat that has developed into a streaming blocked up nose and now i also have a cough which is making my chest sore.
Does anyone have any natural remedy ideas I could try?
Thanks.

Hi Emz26, snap! I also have a cold. Infact I am prone to them and seem to get them a good 5 or 6 times a year. I am on my second one this year. I always use olbas oil to relieve the blocked sinuses and codiene (although it isn't herbal) for the cough as it is a cough surpressant. I don't think there is anything herbal that will relive the cough as I have looked many times. Hope you feel better soon.
Why not try a hot toddy..... lemon juice...honey...and a drop of scotch mixed with hot water works wonders with my family.Hope you feel better soon

Thank you. Other half is just making me a honey and lemon - bless him. Just feeling sorry for myself, and it's my birthday on wednesday so I desperately want to feel better by then!
Stock yourself up with echinacea, it is a herbal remedy recommended by drs! It hasn't been scientifically proven to work but it does in practice!

Also get some zinc tablets, garlic tablets and vit c capsules, these all highten your defence system and help you fight the cold.

Antihistimines also help to combat the puffy eyes and constantly dripping nose!
Only got a remedy for sore throat. eat fresh pineapple, dunno why it works but it does. Saw it on tv. xx
