    Treating cough and cold.

    What remedies do you try at home, before having to visit a doctor?

    My remedy of hot water mixed with brandy and honey isn't working this time.

    Re: Treating cough and cold.

    Try ginger tea (without milk) with tulsi leaves. That's quite effective.

    Tea Ingredients:
    ginger
    tulsi leaves
    tea leaves
    jaggery (Use sugar if you can't get jaggery easily)

    Drink this tea (one full glass each time) 3 - 4 times a day and it should go away in a day or two. Your doctor's medicine would take same or more time than this

    I wouldn't call them "home" remedies, but: Zicam + Day and NyQuil + Shots of whiskey. If I'm feeling particularly bad a small amount of vaporized cannabis knocks me out so I can get the sleep you need to kill a cold.

    I have jaggery and tea leaves, but I'll have to check if I can obtain Tulsi leaves. I am pretty sure that the grocer doesn't sell them.
