  Hi roshi,
  
  The common cold, everyone gets them, yet there is no easy cure for it, but perhaps there are a few things that can be done to ease the common cold.
  1. Vitamin C, one of those wonder vitamins, and it can really help reduce the amount of time you have a cold. The second you feel a cold coming on you should start taking more Vitamin C. It can shorten the length of the cold and make the symptoms less severe.
  2. Zinc Lozenges can have the same effect, reduce the symptoms, and quicken recovery. Now this has been in the news of late and it can help.
  3. Get plenty of rest, when you rest up your immune system is boosted up and it quickens the process of getting better.

  4. Chicken soup, odd but true, it does help cure the common cold. Some chemicals in the soup help to heal. So drink up the soup.
  5. Hot shower or bath can relieve congestion and breaks up the mucus.
  6. Garlic, if you put garlic in your mouth and chew on it, the juices will help cure the cold. Garlic has a powerful antiviral agent and can knock out a cold in a few days.
  7. A bath with a few drops of cinnamon in the bath water, it is said that this can relieve congestion, and generally make you feel better.

  Here are some Home Remedies for cold and cough,
  • The body should be kept warm - especially the feet, chest, throat and head. Sweating is very helpful.
  • Take half a teaspoon of ginger juice with half a teaspoon of honey, three times a day (morning, noon and night). In winter, warm the mixture by mixing a teaspoon of warm water in it.
  • Mix half a cup of warm water with one teaspoon of lemon juice and one teaspoon of honey.
  Dosage: Take several times a day.

  In cases of dry cough (especially during the night), peel a small piece of fresh ginger. Sprinkle some salt on it and chew.
  • Take equal amounts of cardamom, ginger powder, black pepper and cinnamon (1 teaspoon each). Add sugar equal to the total amount of mixture and grind to make a fine powder.
  Dosage: Take half a teaspoon twice daily, with honey or warm water after meals.
  • In cases of sore throat, a clove or two cardamoms or a few raisins can be chewed.Gargling with warm salty water two to three times a day is also beneficial.

  Here is a wonderful grandma's trick:
  
  Cut some small onions and mix with sugar (this mixture should be half a cup..instead sugar if you have kalkandu, better) and keep this closed the whole night and ask him to take this in the morning on an empty stomach...Thats it!!
