I am currently sitting here sniffling, sneezing, coughing and spluttering.
Generally feeling sorry for myself.
However things need to be done, so the Vicks Sinex nasal spray comes out, tub of Vicks embrication by the bed for use at nighty night nights time.
Oh and these new fangled tissues that Mrs Leader has acquired for me, enriched with Balsam, Aloe Vera and vitamin E.
Stops the old hooter getting too red and sore apparently.
I’ll let you know how I get on.
However, my question is this, apart from the above, what old wives tales, potions and lotions, and so forth do you use to relieve the symptoms of the good old common cold?
Any other old remedies could also be mentioned if you wish.
I remember years ago when my Grandparents were alive, they used to grow all sorts of things in the back garden.
The only one that I can remember for sure was Comfrey that they used to boil and then apply to bruised appendages.
