AHHH-CHOOO!!!!

Sorry for the mini hiatus

I've been down with a cold...
And still am :(


It's Malaysia,
It's not cold here...
._.

To those who prefer the term "heaty"
Yeah.

It's my fourth day of having this "cold"

Started off with a fever,
Developed into a sore throat
Then cough and flu

So,
While bed-ridden,

Actually now,
I looked up some natural remedies..

Common colds are often a very mild viral infection that clears up after it has run its course. In isolated incidents, common colds can increase in severity and may lead to advanced infections like bronchitis or pneumonia. Once the cold virus has entered the body of a person, the symptoms of a cold start manifesting in about two to three days. The symptoms peak around the third to fourth day. Then, they wane off in a period of seven to ten days. A common cold is easily picked up at crowded places, schools and childcare centers. The fall and winter months provide the ideal breeding ground for the cold infections to multiply. During these seasons, the cold weather forces people to stay indoors and the spread of the virus is considerable.


I read up that honey and lemon is a good way to boost the Vitamin C 
And
Immune system...



Read that Ginger tea is a good way to soothe the throat
And
Our head..

The amount of ginger I had today.. 
In my porridge..
Was..
A lot...



Garlic boiled in water and drank in soup is also a good way to 
Unclog the airway,




And also a good way to have clear breathing at night (personal experience),
Eucalyptus Oil! :D
Smells great and also unclogs that blocked nose!! :D



But of course,
I still have to go to the doctor D:

Oh well,
The end of my "sickly" post.

Those who are also having this 'cold'/'heaty-ness'
Hope this helps!



Any more remedies that actually work? 
Leave a comment! :D
