Dear Cold:

Why won't you leave? You are making my nose run, I'm coughing and I sound like some kind of icky frog creature. I took Robitussin, Dayquil and coughdrops - still, you persist, and I hate you.

No love for you,
Serena

SO, do you all have any suggestions for how to get rid of this vile cold?

EXACTLY!! That's why you have a cold....

Also, apparently, wearing Kleenex in your nose is not a preferred method of runny nose control.

(Be careful with this remedy if you are on long-term medication - it might flush it out and you'll need to build up the levels again).

Take a thumb-sized (or larger) hunk of fresh ginger, chop it up and boil it forever - 30 minutes to an hour or longer if you like, in lots of water.

Run the hottest bath you can stand. Remove a good-sized mug of the hot ginger water and add honey and lemon to taste. Pour the rest into the bath, Hop in and soak for half and hour, sipping the fresh ginger infusion until gone.

When you get out, wrap yourself in a sheet because you're going to sweat - a lot.
(the next part is crazy but my natureopath swears by it - something about what it does to pulling the "chi energy centers" lower or some such thing - so I finally gave up and tried it and I was shocked to discover she was right)

Okay. While you've been soaking in the tub, you've also been soaking a pair of cotton socks in a bowl of ice water. Wring them out, put them on, and pull on a pair of 100% wool socks over them.

Go to bed. Sleep. The socks will be completely dry in the morning, and you will feel better. I had to talk my husband into trying this and now he swears by it.
