As it seems this is the time for colds and flu i have dug out a couple of alternative remedies for you to try if nothing seems to work. Ginger Tea Add a heaped teaspoon of grated fresh Root Ginger to a cup of boiled water and allow to steep for 10 minutes, if using powdered ginger only use half a teaspoon. This should be taken 3 times a day, ginger contains several anti-viral compounds and is a very old and tested remedy. Herbal cold tea Mix one part Elder, Peppermint, Yarrow, steep one/two teaspoons of the mixture in a cup of hot water allow to steep for 15/20 minutes (you can add mixed spice and honey if you have a sore throat). note- Always make fresh before you drink, always sip never gulp, always swish round the mouth before drinking to mix with natural enzymes in saliva. This Tea WILL induce sweat and if taken early enough could stop cold all together, also good for aches, congestion and inflammation.
