Cold tips: How to help a cold: for the sore throat- gargle with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt in 8 oz of water). For congestion- saline nose drops or a netti pot. For anti-inflammatory effect & mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup. For hydration- lots of water. Try clear broth. Add honey & a small amount of lemon juice to chamomile tea.
