Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Ya, I have something from an old RCAF cookbook that my great-grandma gave me with a recipe called " Cure For Whatever Ails You " or something close. There's an involved preparation of boiling spices like cinnamon, cloves, etc. And then you add that to the " secret " ingredient. Basically, this " cure " is just 99% Jamaican Rum mixed with some boiled spices...lol. Thanks, but I'll skip the spices...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Nope, gramps was the last Canadian military person in our family.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 Ok...here's the deal. Don't bother with echinaciea. It won't help you at this point. What aill tho, is this. Get some chamomile tea, and some eucalyptus stuff (halls vapor stuff works well, especialy if you can add it to the bath or something. Close yourself in the bathroom, and draw a bath as hot as you can stand it. Add the chamomile to the water, let it soak for about 5-10 minutes (you may wanna leave the tea in the teabags!) add a lot of tea...there is a lot of water. you want the tea-bath to be strong. Add the vapor bath to a bowl of hot water next to the tub, but not in it!!!! Soak. You need to try and stay in the tub for like 15-30 minutes at least, but an hour is best. DO NOT DRINK OR EAT ANYTHING COLD FOR TE TIME YOU ARE IN THE BATH OR 30 MINUTES FOLLOWING. Doing so will cause your muscles that you just soothed adn relaxed to seize up again. Do this as often as you can...it's multipurpose. 1, it relaxes all the muscles that are all tightened up, and helps the healing process. 2, it thins and loosens the mucas in your lungs, thus helping your body remove it. Anytime youstart feeling tight, try to get to a steamy room that is nice and warm. Trust me, this will work, and this is one of those things that is good to use for small kids too!!! Good luck babe!!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 This is a GREAT remedy!!! Minus the whiskey, of course. You DEFINITELY do NOT want alcohol in your system when you are ill. Lemon is a natural expectorant, and honey is a natural antibiotic. Hot water loosens everything up.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 I'm not , but can I answer anyways? If you can find it, horehound candy is great for coughing. It's an old fashion hard candy. Also, there are some herbal teas especially for coughing (they usually have horehound in them too because it's an herb). Pepperment is good for sore throats. Hope you're feeling better today, Jacquie. Janae , 9, ADD Jake, 6, autism Herbal or natural cough suppressant, please!!! My back and abdominal muscles have all seized from this coughing. I need help, and can't take OTC meds for colds/flu/cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
