Fortunately on Saturday as I was getting ill I was busy re-working our living room entertainment centre so now I\u00a0 can very comfortably lay on the sofa and still clearly use the PC without having to struggle as much as I used to. The re-working of the living room took about 8 hours in total, the last 4 hours of which involved excessive sneezing and burning up, I ended up finishing the job in nothing but a pair of boxers I was that hot, not due to the manual labour, that was effortless, the heat was due to the sneezing, I was burning up more and more as the day went on. The reward of being able to collapse on the sofa and watch Carry on Cabby was worth it though.<\/p>\n<p>So now, stuck at home, watching Catchprase, sneezing constantly, I though I&#8217;d rant a bit on a blog about home remedies for the common cold and what I&#8217;m going to try and do to get rid of the symptoms sooner!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Chicken Soup<\/strong><br \/>\nThe classic &#8220;solution&#8221; to a cold, basic chicken soup, supposedly containing chemicals that act as an anti-inflammatory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yogurt<\/strong><br \/>\nYou know those adverts for Actimel and the whole &#8220;good bacteria&#8221; concept? Well it works with yoghurt too, apparently the bacteria in yogurt can help when you&#8217;re not your best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hot and Sour Soup<\/strong><br \/>\nOr any soup with Tabasco and chili&#8217;s. Reported benefits include antimicrobial, anticoagulant, or anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to increase circulation or to relieve cold symptoms by clearing the sinus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon Tea and Honey<\/strong><br \/>\nLemon improves the immune system (supposedly) and honey contains antioxidants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dinner with Garlic and Ginger<\/strong><br \/>\nStir fry tonight with lots of fresh garlic and ginger! Garlic is a natural anti-biotic and ginger helps with respiratory infections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drugs, drugs and more drugs!<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile I&#8217;m all for natural home remedies, I&#8217;m also stock-piling my body with Lemsip, decongestants and various other tablets that can be taken together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate colds, they make you feel lethargic and depressed and make you want to stay in bed for 12 hours at a time even though you spend more time tossing and turning and getting up to blow your nose than you do actually sleeping.
