Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I love that you open new doors, . What does the foot soak and cloth behind the neck do?? Klara btw, I have also heard of putting your head over steaming water with ginger in it if you are already stuffed up and difficulties breathing. wrote: Hi LalaOne of the best remedies for a cold is ume sho kuzu - RecipeUme Sho KuzuThis drink is a great way to build immunity and to help prevent colds and flu. It strengthens the digestion and restores vitality. If you add a little fresh ginger juice, the drink will improve circulation and warm the body.Have the drink three days in a row if you feel a cold coming or enjoy 1-2 times a month for prevention.Ingredients:*1 heaping teaspoon kuzu (powder from the kuzu plant)*1/2 to 1 umeboshi plum (Japanese sour plum that is pickled in salt)1 cup cold water*Several drops to 1/2 teaspoon shoyuOptional: 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger juicePreparationDissolve the kuzu in a cup of cold water.Mix well to make sure it is completely dissolved. Place the kuzu in a small pan.Heat on a medium flame and stir constantly. The liquid will become a transparent gelatin. Bring to a boil. Break the umeboshi into small pieces and add to the kuzu. Add the shoyu and mix gently. Add the ginger if desired. Stir through and remove from the heat. Drink while hot.*These ingredients have incredible healing abilities and can be found at your local health food store.You can also make mild miso soup with scallions, soft rice with umeboshi and lightly blanched or steamed leafy vegs - this are great healing foods when you have a cold, flu, fever etc.Also soak your feet in hot salted water for about 10-15 minutes and put a hot cloth on the back of your neck.Hope these things help!Blessings Cold Remedies?>>Another important question since I'm in a midst of a nasty cold, what >do you do at the onset of a cold/flu?
