Favorite home remedies

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.
