home remedies...

When the icy southern wind blew up yesterday it brought with it our first family cold...

Darling husband was first to fall (part & parcel of working in a busy air-conditioned office I guess), then me and now our little one's nose is a dripping tap (his second cold already this season, poor thing).

Husband doesn't have time to muck around and has already hit the hardcore cold & flu drugs, where as I'm going to try a more homeopathic route...



First up, swapping the flat white for the old hot lemon & honey... with a teaspoon of grated ginger for an extra kick.

And perhaps some homemade chicken soup for tonight's dinner.


I found this recipe on  James (Grow Your Own Drugs) Wong's website. Looks like it could do the trick although I don't know if I feel like venturing out just to hunt down some Goji berries...

If anyone has a tried, tested and easy recipe or remedy they can share, we'd all be very appreciative! In the meantime, we'll bunker down and hope it blows through as quickly as yesterday's wintry wind did...

Ps. Might need a couple of these cute handmade tissue box covers to see me through too. I'm sure seeing the ugly branded ones all over those house makes me feel worse...
