Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Remedies for Colds Remedy for stuffy runny noses: Equal drops of eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint oils. Keep these in a small container and sniff as necessary to clear up the nose. Also a steam tea of Wintergreen helps. All you do is heat the water and and cover your head with a towel and breathe in the steam. Peppermint and thyme also work well. 1 tbls each. Here's a good cough syrup without all of the side effects: 1 lemon 2 tbls glycerine 2 tbls honey Heat the lemon by boiling it in water for 10 minutes. Cut it in half and squeeze out the juice. Add the glycerine and honey. Take 1 tsp as needed.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks for this, I've always used Southern Comfort with the honey and lemon, and didn't know you could combine it with glycerine. A quick question, can I use the vegetable glycerin I bought at Whole Foods for making lip balm, or is there a special kind I should buy? thanks again Lorene In a message dated 1/11/2007 10:09:21 P.M.
