Either under my nostrils or on the chest. Opens up my sinuses and keeps me from coughing all night.

No. Usually just opens the sinuses so I can breathe without needing to blow my nose.

Cold and flu season is upon us.

What are your favorite home remedies? For anything, doesn't have to be cold or the flu.

I have recently tried drops of diluted peroxide in the ears and nose. Followed by a gargle of peroxide water. Kept me, ds and dh from catching a full blown cold when we felt one coming on at different times recently.

A niece will be looking for elderberry syrup in the morning for herself and her 7 month old who have begun with a fever cold/flu symptoms.

I have used Vicks vapor rub for a cough.

What are your favorites?

Vicks Vapor Rub slathered on the bottom of my feet (covered with socks) for a cough.

For general feeling lousy/severe cold/flu: tea with lemon, honey and a shot of whiskey. Even for the kids (but not the whole shot of whiskey, just a little schooch for those over about 10).

Oh, and when we are congested, I order hot buffalo wings. That usually helps clear the congestion.

Elderberry syrup is great, also bone broth. I take Olive Leaf every other day to help immunity and Liposomal Vitamin C.
